2026 Azm Alliance: Electoral Entitlement Guarantees 3 Ministries and Deputy PM Post in New Gov

The Azm Alliance clarified its 2026 government formation demands, claiming an entitlement of up to three ministries, including a sovereign portfolio and a Deputy Prime Minister position. Member Salah al-Dulaimi noted that the 2026 cabinet is still under construction, with ongoing intense negotiations to reach a consensus. The alliance advocates for a point-based system, arguing that the Sunni quota includes six ministries. Specifically, they noted that the Taqadum party’s 2026 hold on the Parliament Speakership consumes most of its points, positioning Azm as the second-largest Sunni bloc with a right to significant executive roles in the 2026 administration.
