No Veto for Any (Prime Minister) Candidate

Iraqi National List leader Ayad Allawi stressed on the importance of having a national unity government based on clear and vivid principles. Allawi (a secular former prime minister who had ambitions of become premier again) maintained that Iraq will be destroyed if the government relies on sectarianism to form the government. He clarified that he has no (intention to) veto any candidate for prime minister because his main concern is forming the national unity government. He hoped that all political slates would resolve their differences and agree to form a government that better serves the people.
