Shafaq News / The Member of Fateh Parliamentary Bloc, Fadel Al-Fatlawi announced on Tuesday the failure of the Seven –party Committee formed by the Shiite forces to come up with an alternative for the Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zorfi.

Al-Fatlawi told Shafaq News that "the seven-party committee formed by the Shiite blocs ended its work without naming a person and assigning them instead of al-Zorfi to form the next government."

He added that "the committee has ended its work due to the withdrawal of the other representatives of Towards Reform Coalition and the Wisdom Bloc from the membership of the Committee."

Al-Fatlawi pointed out that "the Shiite blocs rejecting al-Zorfi will form a delegation to inform the Sunni and Kurdish blocs about their position on the assignment of al-Zorfi and the assumption of the presidency of the Iraqi government."

The head of the al-Hikma (Wisdom) movement, Ammar al-Hakim announced withdrawal of the task of choosing the head of the new government, shortly after the announcement of Towards Reform coalition, which is close to the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, about the failure of the Shiite "Seven Committee" in charge of this matter.

Al-Zorfi has less than 30 days to present his cabinet formation to parliament to give its confidence, but his mission will not be easy because he faces rejection from prominent Shiite forces close to Iran, as Al-Fatah coalition led by Hadi al-Amiri and the State of Law coalition led by Nuri al-Maliki.

On Monday, Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zorfi warned that Iraq would face "international sanctions" during the coming period, while stressing that it would only proceed with the agreement of all parties and components.
