A leader in the framework said that they were determined to proceed with the constitutional elections and to form a coalition that would lead to the nomination of a new government.
Al-Jazeera correspondent quoted a source in the framework that the Shiite forces in the framework are determined to communicate with the political forces that were allied with Al-Sadr to persuade them to form an alliance capable of forming a new government.
Members of the Sadrist bloc in the Iraqi Council of Representatives submitted their resignations to the Speaker of the Council at the request of the movement's leader, Muqtada al-Sadr.
Al-Sadr said that the step is a sacrifice for the sake of the Iraqi people to rid them of what he described as an unknown fate.
Today, Monday, Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi announced his acceptance of the resignations "reluctantly, in accordance with the wishes of the leader of the movement" al-Sadr.
Take responsibility
The Speaker of the Iraqi Council of Representatives said that the option of dissolving parliament and holding new legislative elections has not been presented by any of the Iraqi political forces so far.
During a press conference on the sidelines of his visit to Jordan, Al-Halbousi said that the ball is now in the court of the political forces to form a new government that will bear its responsibilities before the Iraqi street.
For his part, a prominent leader in the Sovereignty Alliance, which includes most of the Sunni deputies, announced that the coalition is ready to participate in a government formed by the coordination framework, because "this scenario has become a reality."
As for the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, he expressed his respect for the decision of the members of the Sadrist bloc to submit their collective resignation from Parliament.
Barzani said, in his tweet on Twitter, that the KDP will follow up on subsequent developments regarding the coalitions to form the government.
Iran and the crowd
For its part, the Popular Mobilization Forces affirmed that they are not aligned with any political party, and "not allow external parties to exploit differences to target Iraq's stability."
In the same context, the spokesman for the Al-Fateh Alliance in Iraq, Ahmed Al-Asadi, stressed that the popular crowd is not subject to any negotiations or political understandings.
"We thank the Islamic Republic of Iran for all the support it has given to the Popular Mobilization," al-Asadi said.
"We will defend the popular crowd because it is the safety valve for all Iraqis," he added.
And the spokesman for the Al-Fateh Alliance, Ahmed Al-Asadi, said that the resignation of the Sadrist movement's representatives from Parliament may be an initiative to resolve the crisis, but it will have repercussions on the political process in Iraq.
Al-Asadi added that the Al-Fateh alliance will announce its position within the coordination framework, which is an alliance that includes most of the Shiite forces.
A spokesman for the Al-Fateh Alliance in Iraq said, "We will announce our position within the coordination framework regarding the resignation of the Sadrist bloc."
It is noteworthy that the current government headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi was formed in 2020 after long negotiations and unprecedented popular demonstrations, in protest against the living and economic conditions.
In an interview with Agence France-Presse, Ihsan Al-Shammari, director of the Center for Political Thinking and political analyst, said that one of the reasons that prompted the Sadrist bloc to resign was "Al-Sadr's feeling that there was an attempt to break him politically", and "his realization that Iran would not allow him to change the rules of the political game."
Al-Shammari believes that "forming a government" with those who remain in Parliament in the event the resignation proceeds, "is a difficult matter."
Political analyst Hamza Haddad predicts that "new demonstrations will erupt this summer, as this is always possible with high temperatures and poor services, as well as electricity and water in the south," as well as denouncing the lack of progress in the political process.
