# Iraqi parliament approves Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani’s Coordination Framework cabinet

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 27 October 2022 Iraq’s Council of Representatives approved a government headed by [Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani](/people/mohammed-shia-al-sudani), ending more than a year of deadlock after the 2021 election and [Muqtada al-Sadr](/people/muqtada-al-sadr)’s withdrawal. Reuters recorded the confidence vote. He was the Coordination Framework’s nominee, an alliance of Iran-aligned Shia parties. Sadr remains an unresolved person candidate. This run does not mint him.

## Context

[Mustafa al-Kadhimi](/people/mustafa-al-kadhimi) had been caretaker. Sudani named 21 ministers that day. He did not sit as every Hashd brigade.

Sadr’s 2022 walkout is parent. 17 November 2025 IHEC result is a later child. Keep Iraqi parliament approves Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani’s Coordination Framework cabinet on 2022-10-27 separate from neighbouring 27 October 2022 confidence vote, 11 November 2025 election, 17 November 2025 IHEC 46 seats, and 2026 Framework succession.

The prime minister of Iraq chairs cabinet and names ministers when the largest parliamentary bloc allows. He does not sit as every Popular Mobilisation Forces brigade, as Muqtada al-Sadr, as CENTCOM, or as the Coordination Framework. This run does not mint Sadr, Maliki, Khamenei, or militia heads.

## Evidence and sources

Council of Representatives of Iraq carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is militia-balanced premiership: a completed CF-backed cabinet after a Sadrist walkout.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Parliament approved his government on 27 October 2022 as the Coordination Framework’s nominee.

Not established: A unique later militia headcount from that Thursday, or that the oath disarmed the Hashd.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Parliament voted. He took the premiership. Sadr had already left.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Iraqi parliament approves Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani’s Coordination Framework cabinet, not a later speech about Iraqi parliament approves Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani’s Coordination Framework cabinet.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Iraqi parliament approves Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani’s Coordination Framework cabinet on 2022-10-27 is not a licence to treat every later Council of Representatives of Iraq communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Iraqi parliament approves Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani’s Coordination Framework cabinet into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The Framework nominated. Parliament voted. He took the premiership. Sadr had already left. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
