He said "Maliki's chance to get a third term is very weak, as the American administration expressed its refusal to stay in his post, as well as Iran because it cares about the Iraqi issue more that the United States and other countries, as it considers Iraq a pivotal state and a contributing factor to the Government of Syria and to connect with the Lebanese Hezbollah." He added: "I believe that the Sadrist movement and citizen coalition will ally without the state of law to form a new bloc, and the two would team up with the Kurdistan Alliance, national Coalition and Muttahidoon and other parties to form a government in which all the components of Iraq participate." ninanews.com KDP is against Maliki’s re-election for premiership Erbil: The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), ruling party in Kurdistan Region, stated that the party is against the re-election of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for the post for third time in a row.
