Al-Zurfi's efforts reached a dead end, preventing him from completing the consultations on passing his cabinet, after the Shiite blocs refused to accept his mandate, as he had come from outside the context of the Shiite consensus in nominating personalities to fill this position.

The sources added in a statement to “Al-Arab” that most of the large Shiite blocs responded to this request, and sent signatures from their leaders to the President of the Republic in order to assign al-Kazimi to form the new government.
