On 10 September, AAH secretary-general Qais al-Khazali said PMF chairman Faleh al-Fayyad’s influence over elections and decision-making must end and supported a future manager drawn from inside the PMF but outside the factions. Khazali denied that AAH sought Fayyadh’s post or had an AAH replacement, while noting that Fayyadh was over 70 and saying AAH had previously supported him for the Interior Ministry.

“Since the al-Sudani government, we supported Hajj Faleh al-Fayyad taking the Interior Ministry; it is a stable, ready institution.”
منذ حكومة السوداني دعمنا تسلم الحاج فالح الفياض وزارة الداخلية وهي مؤسسة مستقرة جاهزة

“Fayyadh believes his presence in the PMF will benefit and influence elections and decision-making, and this must end.”
الفياض يعتقد أن وجوده بالحشد ستكون له فائدة وتأثير بالانتخابات والقرار وهذا يجب أن ينتهي

“Enacting the PMF law could add one or two years above the retirement age, but Fayyadh is over 70.”
تشريع قانون الحشد قد يضيف سنة أو سنتين فوق سن التقاعد لكن الفياض تجاوز الـ70

“Our latest position has nothing to do with removing Fayyadh from managing the PMF; we have no replacement for him within Asaib and do not seek the position.”
موقفنا الأخير ليس له علاقة بإخراج الفياض من ادارة الحشد ولا نملك بديلا عنه في العصائب ولا نطمع بالمنصب
