History
On December 13, 2018, Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani announced his resignation from the Dawa Party and the State of Law Coalition. On January 19, 2019, he announced the formation of a new political party. Al Sudani's official statement read: "Furatayn Movement is a genuine Iraqi political movement born to correct the trajectory of the State's work and stand against corruption and corruptors," he added "young people represent the backbone of the Furatayn Movement and are the spearhead of the coming reform." He also emphasized the intent for the party to be diverse and include all components of Iraqi society.[1][2]
In 2024, ahead of the 2025 parliamentary elections, there were reports of a potential alliance between Furatayn and the Sadrist Movement.[3]
Electoral results
The party contested in the 2021 Iraqi parliamentary election and initially won 1 out of 329 seats.[4] However, 73 seats in parliament became vacant due to the resignation of Sadrist Movement, allowing Furatayn to gain an additional 2 seats.
