The outcomes of the recent voting session on the government formation raise serious questions about the future of political alliances, particularly within the Coordination Framework. The delay in finalizing some sovereign ministerial portfolios indicates the potential existence of fundamental disagreements that go beyond the mere distribution of positions, touching upon a deeper struggle for influence within the Shia political scene.

Political figures hinted that the Coordination Framework might be facing a pivotal stage that requires a reshuffling of cards and alliances. Warnings are emerging that a failure to overcome these disagreements could negatively impact governmental stability and the functioning of state institutions in the coming period.

It is believed that the coming days will be decisive in determining the trajectory of the crisis, either by reaching satisfactory settlements for all involved parties or by entering a tunnel of political polarization that could redraw the current map of alliances, especially among the main active forces. These developments hold extreme importance given their direct impact on the new government's ability to implement its program.
