Shafaq News / "Al-Fateh" alliance led by the Secretary General of Badr Organization, Hadi Al-Amiri failed to obtain the support of Sunni political forces led by the President of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad Al-Halbousi, to obtain its support for granting confidence to the transitional government headed by Mohamed Tawfiq Allawi.

Informed sources said that Al-Fateh alliance held a meeting with Sunni forces led by Al-Halbousi that lasted until the early hours of Monday morning in order to obtain the support of these forces in the parliament session to give confidence to Allawi’s government, adding that the meeting "failed" to reach an agreement between the two sides.

 It is noteworthy that "Towards Reform" coalition, supported by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, and "Al-Fath" led by Hadi al-Amiri, support the formation of the transitional government led by Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Allawi.

Allawi refuses to choose candidates from the Kurdish blocs Sunni forces to fill the posts of ministers in his government and insists on choosing his cabinet himself.

Baghdad and the Shiite-dominated areas and cities of central and south have been witnessing since October 1, demonstrations calling for early elections, fighting corruption, and the removal of all political parties that have ruled Iraq since 2003 until now.

These protests prompted Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to resign from his post, under pressure from the religious reference of Ayatollah Ali Sistani.

It is assumed that Allawi, who was named Prime Minister after a difficult consensus reached by the political blocs, will present his formation to Parliament before the second of next March to vote on it, according to the constitution. However, Allawi revealed recently that he is working to present his ministry this week.

The former Minister of Communications, Muhammad Allawi does not have the support of protesters in Iraqi regions and cities, which have been witnessing a popular movement since early October of last year.
