Naming the Prime Minister: Al-Maliki's office announces his nomination, and the framework speaks of "important developments."

The Coordination Framework nominated Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, for the position of Prime Minister.

Al-Maliki's media office stated on Saturday (January 10, 2025) that the Coordination Framework had "officially" nominated Nouri al-Maliki for the position of Prime Minister.

The final decision hinges on the approval of the religious authority and the international situation.

For his part, a source within the Coordination Framework explained to Rudaw Media Network that there is a "majority" supporting al-Maliki's nomination for the position of Prime Minister, and that "the final decision hinges on the approval of the religious authority and the international situation."

Earlier that day, Khalid Walid, a member of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, denied reports of a "compromise candidate" within the Coordination Framework, asserting that this information was "incorrect and was never even raised."
