Shafaq News- Baghdad/ Erbil
Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Masoud Barzani on Tuesday congratulated Prime Minister-designate Ali Al-Zaidi on his nomination to form Iraq’s next government.
During a phone call, both sides emphasized the need for closer coordination among political forces to accelerate cabinet formation and meet public expectations.
On April 27, Iraqi President Nizar Amedi tasked Al-Zaidi with forming a new government after the Coordination Framework, which holds about 162 of parliament’s 329 seats, selected him following the withdrawal of State of Law leader Nouri Al-Maliki and caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, head of the Reconstruction and Development (Al-Ima'ar wal-Tanmiya) Coalition.
