On 29 September, Sadiqoun parliamentary bloc spokesman Muhammad al-Baldaawi (AAH — Sadiqoun bloc) credited the bloc’s persistence and the direction of Qais al-Khazali, AAH’s secretary-general, for the cabinet’s referral of the PMF bill. Sadiqoun bloc head and MP Uday Awwad (AAH — Sadiqoun bloc) said the bloc would complete the legislative steps needed for passage. Their statements claim political credit and commit the bloc to parliamentary action, rather than establishing what provisions parliament will adopt.

“We will proceed in parliament to complete the legislative procedures needed to pass the Popular Mobilization Forces law.”
سنمضي في مجلس النواب نحو استكمال الإجراءات التشريعية اللازمة لإقرار قانون الحشد الشعبي
The added leadership attribution makes Sadiqoun’s claim of ownership more specific than a general endorsement of the bill.
