The Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki said on Sunday he wants to form a coalition with the Kurdistan Alliance and the list of Allawi after the elections.
He expects that he will form the majority in the Iraqi parliament for a new government with the Kurds. He added: “The support of the Kurdish brothers is an important basis for Iraq and their vote cannot be ignored. Next to this, we have good historical ties with the Kurds. For the political process and unity of Iraq, we have to maintain these ties.”
Nouri Al-Maliki is the PM of Iraq since 2006 and the leader of the Islamic Dawa party. During his rule, his government often had disputes about oil, the Kurdish security forces and the disputed regions like Kirkuk and Mosul.
