Iraqi Accordance, Iraq Unity blocs form new alliance

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: A legislator from the Iraqi Accordance on Sunday said his bloc formed an alliance with the Iraq Unity bloc under the name Iraqi Centrist Alliance. “The Iraqi Accordance, due to the delayed formation of a government seven months after holding the legislative elections, viewed that it should form an alliance with the Iraq Unity bloc,” Khalid Abdullah al-Ulwani told IraqiNews.com news agency. “Coming under the banner of this new alliance aims to form an active parliamentary force representing all groups, contribute to defusing the current political plight and accelerating the formation of a government,” said Ulwani. For his part, Khalid al-Fahdawi, a leading member of the Iraq Unity bloc, told IraqiNews.com that the new alliance makes perfect sense in light of intensive meetings between the two sides.
