Baghdad The MP of Al-Sadiquon Parliamentary Bloc, Rafiq Al-Salihi, held today, Saturday, the Kurdish forces responsible for delaying the formation of the new government due to the conflict over the presidency of the republic.

Al-Salihi said in a statement reported by the bloc’s website: The Kurdish forces are required to expedite the resolving the dispute over the candidate for the presidency, as the dispute is what hinders the formation of the new Iraqi government.

He added: “It is the Kurdish forces who bear the delay in forming the government,” noting that “the coordination framework is determined to proceed with the process of forming the government headed by Muhammad Shia.”

He pointed out that in the same session to elect the President of the Republic, Shiites will be tasked with forming the government, and for this the Kurds must resolve their issue quickly.
