Supreme Religious Reference: The new government must be trustworthy and capable of holding early elections

The representative of the supreme religious authority read during the sermon of the Friday prayer of the 12th Jumada Ula 1441 AH corresponding to February 7, 2020, held at the holy shrine of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) the text received from the office of the supreme religious authority in Najaf, in which he stated:

“The religious authority set out in a previous sermon its vision to overcome the current political crisis, and made it clear that the new government that replaces the outgoing one should be worthy of people's confidence and is capable of alleviating situations and restoring the state prestige and to carry out necessary steps to hold early elections in a calm environment far from the side influences of money, illegal weapons, or external interference. And the religious authority asserts again that it is not concerned with the intervention or expressing any opinion on any of the steps taken in this path.”
