Iraqiya, which won the most seats in Iraq’s parliamentary election on March 7, joins a Kurdish alliance in supporting Maliki and his Shia bloc, assuring the incumbent of a second term.
The Iraqiya lawmaker, who asked not to be named, said: “yes, of course” when asked if Iraqiya has agreed to join the government following a meeting of leading politicians aimed at completing a deal on a new government.
Iraqiya will decide on a nominee from the party for speaker of parliament at a meeting on Thursday, the lawmaker said.
US praises for breaking political stalemate
The Obama administration praised Iraqi politicians on Wednesday for apparently breaking an eight-month impasse when the Iraqiya alliance agreed to join a new government headed by incumbent Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
“The apparent agreement to form an inclusive government is a big step forward for Iraq,” Antony Blinken, national security adviser to US Vice President Joe Biden, said in a statement.
“Iraq’s leaders negotiated and apparently agreed to a major redistribution of powers that creates real checks and balances against the abuse of power by any one group.”
