Abadi Sistani, who was supported by never met but it seems that his patience ran out as a result of the slow pace of reform. He says analyst Ahmed Younis, "Abadi seems as if he is moving in a minefield, it was now obliged to act in a manner satisfactory to all parties."

A spokesman for al-Abadi said that such a meeting was required. A source close to the prime minister that failure to get the meeting is considered negative.
With the fading of popular mandate and the mandate reference, perhaps Abadi will not be in a position to help him challenge the opponents of his reforms.
The toughest demands have come from within the State of Law coalition who voted last week on the need for Abadi further consultations before making decisions, while opposition MPs focused on reforms and it stems from the large differences between the two camps within the rule of law; Abadi al-Maliki.
Supporters of al-Maliki Abadi considered very close to the United States, which arms and train Iraqi forces and lead the air campaign against Daash. Also, al-Maliki is popular among militias that consider him as a bulwark against Sunni insurgents.

Abadi did not succeed in promoting one of the major reforms of the abolition of the posts of Vice President of the Republic, including al-Maliki to keep his job and took for himself a confrontational path with al-Abadi.

Support given to Abadi of the clergy, whom he met in Najaf who oppose al-Maliki, is important in any future confrontation.
