Iraq-Mustafa al-Kadhimi named as third designate PM this year

Iraq’s head of intelligence Mustafa al-Kadhimi was appointed the country’s third prime minister-designate in just over a month Thursday after the resignation of the most recent candidate amid political infighting.

Iraq’s president appointed Kadhimi, 53, as prime minister-designate shortly after al-Zurfi’s resignation.

“With my mandate to lead the Iraqi government, I pledge to my honourable people to work to form a government that puts the aspirations and demands of Iraqis as the top priority,” Kadhimi tweeted shortly after his appointment was announced.
