Iraq's acting Parliament speaker said Wednesday he will convene the legislature next week to push forward the formation of a new government.
he decided to convene the assembly on Monday because "it's my duty to the Iraqi people in order to preserve the credibility of the democratic process."
Pachachi added that Shiite politicians told him they hope to have the deadlock over the nomination of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari resolved in time for the session.
But Pachachi, a former foreign minister, said he was hopeful for a breakthrough on the prime minister issue.
"There are indications that cause us to be optimistic that an agreement will be reached on all the sticking points regarding forming a national unity government," he said.
