Deputies on Wednesday failed to agree on one nominee to head the new government, putting more focus on the new premier’s agenda rather than the name.

Wednesday’s meeting of the largest parliamentary coalition, in which members were due to have scheduled internal elections to vote over the next prime minister, failed to settle differences of opinion between the parties.

The 82-MP “coalition of four” is made up of the Watan (25 MPs), the Islamic Centrist Party (15 MPs), the Democratic Gathering (24 MPs) and the Free Pledge (18 MPs) blocs.

The 84-member coalition is composed of members of the Watan (27 MPs), Democratic Gathering (24 MPs), Free Pledge (18 MPs) and the Islamic Centrist Party (15 MPs) blocs.

Defying initial forecasts, members of the party took 16 seats in the January 23 polls, including three through the national list competition and 13 in district-level races, over four times the number of those secured by the second leading national list.
