Iraqi parties to visit Kurdistan Region to form alliance with ruling parties
"The political majority project is in its last stage and Hikma, Sayirun, Nasr, Wataniya and the Iraqi Forces Union will together announce the biggest faction," Mohammed Jamil Mayahi, a member of Hikma Front's presidency, told Rudaw.
Hikma is headed by Ammar al-Hakim, an Iraqi cleric who is close to Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.
Their “high level” delegations will also try to incorporate Fatih alliance and the Turkmen Front, as well as the Christian parties which hold five seats in the parliament.
Iraq held parliamentary election on May 12, but the results were disputed by those political parties which gained fewer seats than they expected. A manual recount was conducted and its results were announced last week but no change occurred in the seats.
