Rudaw has learned that the appointment of a new prime minister could be a hot topic next week.
Mohammed Tofiq Allawi, former minister and politician, is said to be one of the candidates for the position on the ticket of the Bina Coalition.
I think I have a good chance [to become the next prime minister]," he told Rudaw.
"We first have to make preparations to hold a snap election as per the new electoral law which will be a new start," he added.

those who remain in Tahrir Square continue calls for an independent candidate.
"Mohammed Tofiq Allawi has previously worked in many ministries, including the ministry of transport. People reject all those who have worked in the government since 2003," protester Qassim Sakeni said.
