The Coordination Framework has identified nine candidates for the post of Iraq’s next prime minister, according to the official spokesman of the Iraqi Basic Coalition, who emphasized that the next prime minister will be chosen by consensus. Ahmad Mamouri said Thursday that the committee responsible for interviewing the candidates has so far reviewed nine profiles, focusing on their programs in security, the economy, and international relations.
He explained that the selection will be based on an agreement that represents the entire coalition, and the next government will be a consensus government for all components of the Iraqi people.
Meanwhile, Salam Zubaidi, spokesman for the Nasr Coalition, said the framework had added Haider al-Abadi’s name to the list of candidates, but Abadi declined to take the position.
Zubaidi added that the identity of the new prime minister could be determined at a Coordination Framework meeting scheduled for next Monday.
