On 2 October, Sadiqoun General Council member Amal al-Shawili (AAH — Sadiqoun), speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media), alleged that the PMF Commission had been exploited for electoral purposes and was administratively unstable. She called for a parliamentary vote on its law, leadership with security experience, and an opportunity for PMF personnel to choose their representatives. Reconstruction and Development Coalition member Hussein Karim endorsed passage by all political blocs, while security expert Jawad al-Dahlaki called for PMF structure equivalent to the Iraqi army in rights and duties; both endorsed remarks Qais al-Khazali, AAH’s secretary-general.

“A leadership figure with security experience must be selected to lead the PMF; the PMF Commission has been exploited for electoral purposes, and PMF personnel must be given the opportunity to choose who represents them; the PMF Commission in its current condition is administratively unstable; the Sadiqoun bloc is determined to pass the PMF law in parliament.”

“His Eminence Sheikh al-Khazali’s remarks about the PMF accord with the principles of national sovereignty; the PMF’s structure must be parallel to the Iraqi army in rights and duties.”
حديث سماحة الشيخ الخزعلي حول الحشد الشعبي ينسجم مع مبادئ السيادة الوطنية؛ يجب ان تكون هيكلية الحشد الشعبي موازية للجيش العراقي في الحقوق والواجبات
The speakers agree on institutional development but differ in specificity: Sadiqoun General Council member Amal al-Shawili (AAH — Sadiqoun) places leadership selection and personnel representation on the agenda, rather than treating passage of the law as sufficient.
