The Iraqi Dawa Party announced on Saturday the nomination of its Secretary-General, Nouri al-Maliki, for the position of Prime Minister. This decision comes amid ongoing political negotiations to form a new government for the country. The party stated that al-Maliki is a suitable candidate to overcome the current political crisis and ensure stability in Iraq. This nomination is expected, given al-Maliki's long-standing role in the country's political life. However, his candidacy may spark controversy among other political forces that also claim key positions in the government. The political process in Iraq remains complex and requires consensus among all major parties and ethnic groups to form a functional cabinet of ministers.
