flag Iraq's main political bloc is selecting a new prime minister based on qualifications, not power, to avoid re-electing incumbent Sudani due to policy conflicts.

flag Iraq’s Shiite Coordination Framework, the largest bloc after the November 11, 2025, elections with around 187 seats, is shaping criteria to select a new prime minister focused on administration over personal power. flag Despite incumbent Mohammed al-Sudani remaining on a shortlist, opposition from figures like Nouri al-Maliki and concerns over his independence have led the bloc to form committees to evaluate candidates based on qualifications. flag The framework, including Iran-aligned parties, aims to prevent Sudani’s return, especially after his decisions conflicting with their interests, such as blocking formalization of Iran-backed militias. flag The bloc seeks to maintain coalition control, with the prime minister serving as an administrator rather than a political leader.
