The political landscape in Iraq has once again proven to be a complex matrix of alliances and ideological divides. While the recent e******n results brought good news for incumbent Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the subsequent political maneuvering has triggered a period of deadlock—a situation with profound implications for foreign relations, economic reforms, and notably, for those holding Iraqi Dinar (IQD).
In a recent analysis for Edu Matrix, Sandy Ingram broke down the current situation, offering crucial perspective for investors navigating this high-stakes uncertainty.
The central tension in Baghdad stems from a fragmented e******n outcome. Prime Minister Sudani’s team successfully secured the most seats in the recent e*******s, validating his tenure and popular support. However, this success did not translate into an outright parliamentary majority.
Sudani’s coalition secured approximately 50 seats, placing him in a strong position, but not an invulnerable one.
Standing in his path is a potent group known as the “coalition framework.” This political bloc, largely composed of powerful pro-Iran factions, holds a greater combined number of seats than Sudani’s team and is determined to prevent him from securing a second term.
The opposition is primarily motivated by Sudani’s successful diversification of foreign policy. The pro-Iran group views Sudani as having become “too balanced” in his international dealings.
His administration has actively worked to cultivate stronger relationships with both Western nations (including the United States) and neighboring Arab states. For the coalition framework, this balance is seen not as diplomacy, but as a threat—they fear his growing power and the potential shift away from their ideological alignment.
The coming weeks and months will therefore be defined by intense political negotiation, alliance-building, and factional maneuvering, creating significant uncertainty about Iraq’s future leadership.

For those invested in the Iraqi Dinar, the political deadlock is more than just headline news—it’s a direct variable affecting their investment timeline and risk assessment.
Sudani’s continuation in office is widely viewed as favorable for currency reform and economic growth. His administration champions several major initiatives designed to revitalize Iraq’s economy and increase its global relevance, most notably:
This massive infrastructure initiative aims to transform Iraq into an international trade hub, connecting the Gulf to Europe via rail and road networks. If realized, the Development Road would fundamentally reposition Iraq as a critical node in global logistics, drastically increasing foreign investment and regional trade volume.
This economic transformation is the primary catalyst IQD investors look toward for potential dinar appreciation.
The risk lies in the opposition’s success. If the coalition framework successfully blocks Sudani and installs another leader, there is serious concern that these ambitious economic and currency reform initiatives—including the Development Road Project—could be altered, delayed, or outright scrapped.
The uncertainty about who will lead Iraq next creates instability regarding the continuation of pro-growth economic policy.
Sandy Ingram’s message to investors in this turbulent period is one of caution and patience. She recognizes that the current political instability can feel like a genuine headache for those with capital tied up in the dinar.

She drew a clear parallel, describing the volatile political atmosphere as “a rollercoaster ride akin to the volatility seen in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.”
This analogy is crucial: just as crypto investors must ride out dramatic dips and surges based on short-term news, IQD investors must remain calm and focused on the long-term fundamentals of Iraq’s economic potential, rather than panicking over daily political squabbles.
Sandy encourages the audience to use this mandatory waiting period wisely. Instead of fixating solely on political headlines, investors should take this time to learn about additional, complementary investment opportunities. Diversifying knowledge and assets can help mitigate risk and improve portfolio strength regardless of how the political negotiations resolve.
While the current political deadlock injects risk into the investment, the underlying potential of Iraq—especially its geographical importance and natural resources—remains a powerful long-term factor.
The path forward will not be smooth, but remaining calm, patient, and informed is the best strategy.
