On August 23, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried Hassan Zain al-Abidin (Sadiqoun — AAH) saying administrative and legal measures would be taken against Falih al-Fayadh, parliament could withdraw confidence and Fayadh would face military trial. The same speaker said Sadiqoun would lead efforts to hold Fayadh accountable but called allegations that it seeks the PMF chairmanship a lie. Other guests on the channel challenged the legality of Fayadh’s continued tenure and criticized his handling of information about an attack on the PMF.

“Fayadh's remaining at the head of the Popular Mobilization Commission violates the law; administrative and legal measures will be taken against Fayadh; parliament is determined to act and may withdraw confidence from Fayadh; Fayadh will face military trial; political failures promote the lie that Sadiqoun intends to take the PMF chairmanship.”
بقاء الفياض على رأس هيئة الحشد الشعبي يخالف القانون؛ الاجراءات الادارية والقانونية ستتخذ ضد الفياض؛ البرلمان مصر على الاجراءات وقد يسحب الثقة عن الفياض؛ الفياض سيحاكم محاكمة عسكرية؛ المفلسون السياسيون يروجون لكذبة نية الصادقون اخذ رئاسة هيئة الحشد
The divergence separates support for PMF institutional legislation from AAH’s specific leadership challenge: the supplied KSS line backs imminent legislation, whereas the removal and trial demands remain concentrated in AAH-owned coverage.
