On 6 September, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) captioned Al-Asas Parliamentary Bloc head Alaa al-Haidari as saying the bloc would demand a redrawn political map and renewed distribution of ministries if deputy-prime-minister posts were not approved. A subsequent caption described a “veiled message” to State of Law and said the Education Ministry could go to Mohsen al-Mandalawi if deputy prime ministers were considered unnecessary. The redistribution post names al-Haidari in its caption, while its visible lower third names Adel al-Jubouri.

“A veiled message to State of Law… Al-Asas bloc head Alaa al-Haidari: the Education Ministry could go to Mohsen al-Mandalawi if deputy prime ministers are “not necessary.””
رسالة مبطنة لدولة القانون… رئيس كتلة الأساس علاء الحيدري: وزارة التعليم قد تذهب لمحسن المندلاوي اذا كان نواب رئيس الوزراء "مو ضرورة"
The paired captions place a named ministry and the complete cabinet allocation on the same bargaining line, making the proposed deputy-premier posts a stated condition in government-formation negotiations.
