Shafaq News / The head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki announced on Tuesday that Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kadhimi asked him to participate in the nomination of some ministers for the next government, while he confirmed that he refused.

"State of Law coalition continues with the partners in accomplishing this difficult task, but we did not nominate any minister to any ministry, and al-Kadhimi asked us to participate in the nomination, but we refused that, and we said frankly, that what matters to us is that the government is strong and capable of assuming its constitutional responsibilities, a ministry or a position do not interest us as much as the ministerial formation concerns us. “Al-Maliki added.
