Erbil, Sept. 7 (AKnews) – The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) may state Iraq does not deserve independency if government formation takes longer, says chairman of the Kurdistan Strategic Research Center (KSRC).
Observers see no government anytime soon in Iraq even five months have passed over the Election Day (March 7) now and parliament’s first session on June 14 did not come up with a success.
Nominating Adil Abdul Mahdi to take the PM post is a progressive move, not effective though as his bloc came third in the elections, said the KSRC chairman Farid Asasard.
The PM post is to be finalized for either the Iraqi National Alliance headed by Ayad Allawi or the State of Law headed by the incumbent PM Nourl Maliki, he added.
“I do not believe that one could convince the other to give up the post. Therefore, the president should assign a member of these two blocs to form government,” Asasard noted.
The situation in Iraq now is an unprecedented one as nowhere in the world political actors could not form government after they are content to results of a democratic election, he said.
He thought that if the political blocs could not form a government soon then the issue would be resolved in the UNSC which might say Iraq does not deserve independency.
Allawi won 91 seats and Maliki came second with 89 in March 7 legislative elections. Both come short to reach 163 seats to make a government and have been unable to form a coalition to do so. This has so far left Iraq with no government.
