Who is Ali al-Zaidi, the businessman named as Iraq’s PM-designate?

After months of political wrangling, Iraq’s Coordination Framework named Ali al-Zaidi, a multimillionaire businessman, as the compromise candidate for prime minister. Iraqi President Nizar Amedi appointed the 40-year-old al-Zaidi as prime minister-designate, tasking him with forming a government. This appointment follows the withdrawal of former President Nouri al-Maliki due to opposition from US President Donald Trump.
