The Iraqi state of law coalition has 33 seats in Iraq’s parliament after the country held its latest election in October 2021, the coalition almost lost half of its seats after a major breakdown from 67 seats in the 2018 elections downed to 33 in 2021.
The coalition and its head Nouri al-Maliki are the major political rival of the influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his political and social movement the Sadrist.
On Monday Nouri al-Maliki, in response to calls for an early election throughout Iraq which was originally generated by influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, released a statement.
“Iraq is a country that its components and people consist of a variety of nations and different sects, no will can be more superior above any but only the will of all of the people through the constitutional institutions that represents by the parliament,” al-Maliki in the statement said.
“Neither the dissolution of the parliament nor holding an early election nor changing the system will not take place unless the parliament resumes its regular sessions” al-Maliki added.
