Iraq’s prime minister-designate has submitted his government program to parliament ahead of a looming deadline to end a months-long political deadlock in the country. 

Mustafa al-Kadhimi is the third candidate tasked this year with forming a new government. Iraqi President Barham Salih named Kadhimi after former Najaf governor Adnan al-Zurfi and former Communications Minister Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi failed to garner enough support in the highly fractured Iraqi Parliament.
