Iraqi PM to negotiate on forming new government
In a televised address, al-Sudani said his Reconstruction and Development Coalition secured the top position in the elections and “will remain so.” He emphasized that the forthcoming government will “serve all Iraqis and protect the interests of everyone, including those who chose to boycott the vote.”
“Iraq belongs to all and will remain for all,” he stressed.
Preliminary results from the electoral commission indicated that al-Sudani’s coalition received 411,026 votes in Baghdad. Nationwide voter turnout reached 56.11%.
“We call on everyone to place Iraq’s interests above all else and respect the will of the voters,” al-Sudani said. “The next stage will focus on negotiations grounded in a unifying and responsible national spirit aimed at shaping the form of the new government — a competent government capable of implementing programs and commitments.”
The premier added that his coalition “is open to all parties without exception” and pledged to act “with objectivity, responsibility, and legality, in a manner worthy of the sacrifices of the Iraqi people and the confidence they have placed in the achievements and plans of their government.”
“Our goal,” al-Sudani said, “is to build solid understandings that respect the constitution and guarantee genuine participation for all in decision-making.”
