Shafaq News / The member of the Iraqi parliament, Basem Khashan revealed on Tuesday, the existence of a political project by the political forces that ends to keep the resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi in office until the next elections.

Khashan told Shafaq News that " opposition of some political forces, especially the Shiites, to the commissioning of Adnan Al-Zorfi to form the new Iraqi government, comes within a political project, aimed at keeping the resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi in office until the date of the upcoming elections, indicating" even an alternative for Al-Zorfi will not pass in parliament, whatever his name may be. "

He added that "these political parties are now in control of the Iraqi state, and do not want to lose their influence, just as they are not ready to hold early elections. They know very well that the Iraqi people will not re-elect them, and for this they want the differences over the prime minister candidate to continue until the end of the current government and parliament, without any change in the current government.

The leaders of the state of law, Nouri Al-Maliki, Al-Fath alliance , Hadi Al-Amiri and Wisdom movement, Ammar Al-Hakim, have previously agreed not to pass the government of Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zorfi, and put the name of Mustafa Al-Kathemi, the head of the intelligence agency, to the post.

However, Al-Zorfi, known for his stubbornness, "totally rejected this and said that it is the parliament session that determines whether my government will gain confidence or not."

It should be noted that Al-Zorfi is rejected by Shiite currents and they consider him too close to America, while armed Shiite factions close to Iran describe him as an agent of the American intelligence.
