On 9 September, Sadiqoun MP Qaisar al-Jourani said the Coordination Framework had agreed to four deputy prime ministers, that Sadiqoun wanted the Interior Ministry and that the cabinet map would be reconsidered if Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s proposed deputies were not approved. Sadiqoun spokesman and MP Muhammad al-Baldawi said the points system entitled the bloc to two ministries, while political analyst Muhammad al-Fandi named Interior and Labour as its alternative allocation. State of Law Coalition leader Bilal al-Nasiri said State of Law would proceed with the Framework and would not lead a movement rejecting the deputy-premier posts.

“The State of Law Coalition objected to the deputy-prime-minister issue... Sadiqoun’s entitlement is the Interior and Labour ministries if the deputy-prime-minister issue does not proceed.”

“Using the points system in distributing ministries gives Sadiqoun an entitlement to two ministries.”

“The Framework agreed to designate four deputy prime ministers... Sadiqoun wants the Interior Ministry... We will reconsider the government-formation map if al-Zaidi’s deputies are not approved.”
الإطار اتفق على تخصيص أربعة نواب لرئيس الوزراء... الصادقون لديهم رغبة بوزارة الداخلية... سنعيد خارطة تشكيل الحكومة في حال عدم تمرير نواب الزيدي

“State of Law will proceed with the Framework regarding the deputy prime ministers... State of Law will not lead any movement to reject the deputy prime ministers.”
دولة القانون سيمضي مع الإطار بشأن نواب رئيس الوزراء... دولة القانون لن يقود اي حراك لرفض نواب رئيس الوزراء
Sadiqoun’s stated alternative—Interior and Labour if the deputy-premier plan fails—links the dispute over senior appointments directly to control of two ministries. State of Law’s stated acceptance of the Framework process leaves personnel and portfolio allocation as the operative points of friction.
