Iraq’s Prime Minister-designate Adnan al-Zurfi had until April 15 to form a new government, but he faced increasing opposition from Shia parties.
The country has been mired in a political crisis since caretaker prime minister Adel Abdul Mahdi resigned in December.
The prolonged crisis has hampered Iraq’s ability to cope with months of unrest and a rising number of COVID-19 cases.
