Whitelions    Officially … The Iraqi parliament decided to postpone its special session to vote on the government of Muhammad Allawi, until next Saturday.

The decision came after disputes, some of which resulted in a quarrel between Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi and his deputy, Hassan al-Kaabi, over the controversial session.

The dispute occurred between Al-Halbousi Al-Kaabi, due to the announcement of the postponement of the session on the passing of the government of Muhammad Allawi, which was rejected by Al-Kaabi and demanded that the attendance of the representatives present in the parliament session be checked.

For the government to obtain the confidence of Parliament, an absolute majority (50% +1) is required for the number of members present (not the total number).

According to Shafak News sources, only 105 deputies were present in the parliament session out of 329 deputies.

A parliamentary source told Shafak News, that the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi called for a session of granting confidence next Saturday, while Parliament Speaker Muhammad Al-Halbousi urged that it be held on Sunday, which called Al-Halbousi to hold a meeting with all the leaders of political blocs to resolve a deadline to vote on the government .

He added that the last decision went with the holding of the extraordinary session next Saturday.

The government’s formation faces Muhammad Allawi’s rejection of the Kurds and Sunni and Shi’ite coalitions, while it has the support of the Saeron Alliance - the Sadrist movement — and the Fatah coalition headed by Hadi al-Amiri
