[img]The Al-Fatah coalition, led by Hadi al-Amiri, has unveiled the most prominent candidate to succeed former Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi to form the next government.

"The closest name to take over as prime minister of the new Iraqi government is the head of the Iraqi intelligence service, Mustafa al-Kazemi, especially since there are political parties who tried to choose him before Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, but the consensus got Allawi, at the time," said coalition deputy Hanin Qaddo.

And Qaddo said that "these parties now want to assign Al-Kazemi, and this matter may be resolved in the next few days, as this matter is left to the dialogues and negotiations, which are taking place."
Allawi had announced, on Sunday, that he would step down from forming a government, a day before the constitutional deadline for his government to pass in parliament.

Allawi faced widespread objections by the Kurdish blocs and prominent Sunni political forces, headed by the Iraqi Forces Alliance, as well as the State of Law coalition, as well as the demonstrators who are calling for the nomination of an independent personality far from dependency abroad
