US Vice President Joseph Biden supports power partition between State of Law Coalition and Al Iraqiya Coalition, an informed source told Alsumaria News reporting about Biden’s meetings with Iraqi political leaders. The US Administration put forth an Arab supported alternative plan to opt for Vice President Adel Abdul Mehdi as a compromise candidate if head of Al Iraqiya List Iyad Allawi and Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki refuse the political proposal, the source noted. Biden’s proposal stipulates to name Iyad Allawi as President while introducing some amendments that allow him to attend ministerial council meetings, yet, without amending the President’s authorities by virtue of the Constitution. Biden’s proposal calls to keep Nuri Al Maliki as Prime Minister since his list rallied the majority of Shiite votes in Iraq.
