The United States called for the formation of a government in Iraq as soon as possible.
A senior US State Department official has called for Iraq to form a government.
The administration of US President Joe Biden has called on officials in Iraq to end the political stalemate immediately and form a new government.
“It’s time for Iraqi leaders to form a government,” Jennifer Gavito, the US deputy assistant secretary of state for Iraq and Iran, said Friday, according to Al-Monitor.
Since the Iraqi presidential election, neither of Iraq’s two major political blocs has won the support of at least two-thirds of the members of parliament to elect a new president and eventually form a government.
“Stopping this process will make Iraqi officials unable to provide services to ordinary Iraqis,” Gavito said in a telephone interview on Friday.
The Iraqi parliament will not be able to approve the new year’s budget without forming a government. Iraqi Finance Minister Ali al-Alawi said the suspension of the budget would be troublesome for Iraq, as the Iraqi economy is currently recovering from the shock of the corona epidemic and falling oil prices.
Iraq’s parliamentary elections were held on October 9, and the UNHCR announced the final results of the parliamentary elections on December 29, and was approved by a federal court on January 26. Six months after the Iraqi parliamentary elections, the political stalemate in Iraq is not over and the winning parties have not been able to reach an agreement on the election of a new president and prime minister. “
In such a situation, some parties announce the possibility of dissolving the current parliament legally and holding re-elections, and predict that Sadr will present this proposal in the next session of the parliament.
