Iraq's interim prime minister, Iyad Allawi, criticised the winners of the January elections yesterday, saying they had "paralysed" the country by failing over the past six weeks to agree on the shape of a new government.The new parliament meets for the first time tomorrow in a sitting intended to usher in Iraq's first elected national administration for decades.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Mr Allawi said the impasse was "paralysing life in this country".
He added: "The country cannot remain as it is now. There are things that need to be done and a decision needs to be arrived at.''The two groups' inability to agree can only provide political advantage for Mr Allawi, whose cabinet will remain as a caretaker government until a new one can be announced.
