The deputy of the "Al-Fateh" coalition, Mukhtar al-Musawi, revealed the two bodies that passed the designated Prime Minister, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, noting that the latter began 45 days ago to search for his ministerial staff after proposing his name as a candidate for prime minister
Mousawi said, in statements to Arab media, followed by Digital Media NRT, today, Monday, February 3, 2020, that Allawi's options regarding forming a government will be far from the dictates of political blocs and parties, noting that "a group of Turkmen MPs met candidate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi A week before he was assigned to form a government in the capital, Baghdad, there was talk of marginalizing the Turkmen in the government of Abdul-Mahdi

He continued, "The government of Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi will set the end of this year as the date for the early parliamentary elections, to implement the demands of the demonstrators "
Al-Moussawi pointed out that "Allawi expressed his willingness to implement the conditions set by a coalition of walkers and openness by removing American forces from Iraqi lands, and to implement the agreement with the Chinese side in exchange for granting him the right to choose the members of his cabinet cabinet away from quotas"
For its part, informed sources said that the candidate for prime minister, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, arrived in the capital Baghdad midweek before a 48-hour visit, during which he held talks with the President of the Republic, and leaders of blocs and political parties in preparation for his assignment to form the government before he was postponed to notice Another on time
The political parties had questioned earlier, the possibility of passing Allawi's government in the House of Representatives in light of the intersections and opposition adopted by the victory coalition and the rule of law against this nomination, expected that Mahdi will continue to run the daily caretaker government after the end of the constitutional (mandated) 30-day deadline

LEB: Wow! Iraq may finally found someone who gets things done. I see this as great news and something Iraq needs desperately. He may know what the word “today” means.
TIM: gm kona, 26 imo you hit the nail on the head again. you told us they had a prime minister selected and that they were hideing him until it was time to be revealed. this article imo stands by what you had said all along. looking for his cabinet 45 days ago just confirms……imo.
ChrisC; If we all remember, months and months ago, Saleh met with Trump and at that point at least they were laying out a game plan. They met again and then once more recently, so, I am sure they have his cabinet picked to the last person.
I would bet they had our new PM on a video conference and worked this all out with him. Everyone that is paying ANY attention understands this is at a critical point for Iraq. Iran has lost a major grip on Iraq, but they still have their hand in there. The people have taken all they can stand and they can't stands no more, so they have to be calmed down.
I think we will see his cabinet picked in record time and confirmed and the people will have their currency back and at that point, Iran will have to start withdrawing their hand or have it cut off. They may give up their ambitions and vote on being a responsible neighbor or they may have to be eliminated.
They are radical jihadist, so we will have to see what their move will be. However, I don't see how they will stand up to the PM if he gets the people on his side. He will have a force behind him bigger than any army, especially with the US willing to help put a boot in their backside.
