FAA (Ansar Allah al-Awfiya — official social media channel) posted MP Murtada al-Sa'adi on 30 July stating there is "no truth to reports speaking of the removal of Ahmad al-Asadi from the Coordination Framework", that his absence from Framework meetings "is due to his being on a treatment trip outside the country", that "there are no arrest or summons orders against Ahmad al-Asadi and he remains an official member of the Coordination Framework", and that "there is no information confirming the replacement of Ahmad al-Asadi by Shibl al-Zaidi inside the Coordination Framework". Al-Sa'adi added that the Services Coalition has formally applied to join the Framework. No other tracked channel in the collected material addresses al-Asadi's status.
Naming Shibl al-Zaidi as the alleged replacement puts a specific succession contest inside the Coordination Framework on the record, sourced from the side denying it.
