Hassan Al-Kaabi announces next Wednesday a session of granting confidence to Allawi’s government

Shafaq News / First Deputy Speaker of Parliament , Hassan Al Kaabi announced on Sunday that he will hold a parliament session to give confidence to the government of Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi next Wednesday.

Al-Kaabi said in a brief statement received by Shafaq News, that "the session of the parliament to give confidence to Allawi’s government will take place next Wednesday."

The session was supposed to be held tomorrow, Monday, at the invitation of the resigned Prime Minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi.

However, Speaker of Parliament Muhammad al-Halbousi said that the date of the session cannot be determined unless the government program and curriculum vitae of ministerial candidates arrive.

Allawi was named after a consensus between the leader of al-Fateh Alliance of the Hadi al-Amiri and the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr.

However, he is facing widespread objections from the Kurdish and Sunni political forces as well as the popular movement, which demands an independent personality far from subordination to the parties and abroad.
