Braking News – Maliki submits two candidates for Interior Minister’s Post

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) A source within the Iraqi National Alliance announced that the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, submitted two candidates for the Post of the Interior Minister after two years of forming the government.

The source stated to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com) on Sunday “Maliki submitted the names of the leader within the Islamic Dawa party, Adnan al-Asadi and Falih al-Fayadh, the leader within the National Reformation Trend headed by Ibrahim al-Jaafary, for the Interior Minister’s Post.”

“The political blocs within INA are reserved over those two candidates because they belong to political blocs and not independent candidates,” the source added.

“The political blocs did not accept nominating these candidates, stating that this post does not belong to a political party where it is for the political blocs that have Members of parliament and do not have ministers in the government,” the source concluded.
