2026 Points Dispute: "Azm" Holds on Sovereign Portfolio, Claims Speaker Post Deducts from "Taqadum" Share

In the 2026 political landscape, the Azm Alliance is pushing for a substantial executive presence. MP Salah al-Dulaimi emphasized that the 2026 cabinet distribution must strictly follow electoral weight through the points mechanism. Azm argues that Taqadum’s acquisition of the Speakership significantly reduces its remaining 2026 ministerial share. Consequently, Azm asserts its status as a major 2026 political force, demanding a sovereign ministry and the Deputy PM office. These 2026 maneuvers highlight the internal competition within the Sunni component as they aim to finalize their 2026 representatives in the upcoming national government.
