BAGHDAD — Following his latest failed effort to form a Cabinet this week, Iraq's Prime Minister-designate Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi, who was nominated as a compromise candidate for solving the political deadlock between the protesters, the state and varied political parties, is losing support from all sides.
Sunni and Kurdish blocs boycotted a parliamentary session Feb. 28, leading to its cancellation. The blocs complained that Allawi had not consulted them about selecting his Cabinet.
