Timeline

1942

Adil Abdul-Mahdi al-Muntafiki (عادل عبد المهدي المنتفكي, born 1 January 1942) is an Iraqi politician who served as Prime Minister of Iraq from October 2018 until May 2020.

Mahdi was born in Baghdad in 1942, the son of a Shiite cleric, Abdul-Mahdi, originally from Dhi Qar Governorate, who was the Minister of Education in Iraq's monarchy, and a mother from Syria.

He attended high school at Baghdad College, an elite American Jesuit secondary school.

1958

The party split into two separate factions, the ICP-Central Committee, which was more accommodating of the military governments that had ruled Iraq since 1958, and the ICP-Central Leadership, which rejected all forms of cooperation of what it regarded as anti-progressive regimes, in 1967.

Abdul-Mahdi joined the ICP-Central Leadership, and continued being active until he was expelled in and formed his own splinter claiming to be the legitimate ICP-Central Leadership.

1963

After graduating, he attended Baghdad University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics in 1963.

1965

He worked as a secretary for the Iraqi foreign ministry in 1965 and was an early supporter of the Iraqi Ba'ath Party, but left due to ideological disagreements.

1969

In 1969, he moved to France where he worked for French think tanks and edited magazines in French and Arabic.

1970

In the 1970s, Abdul-Mahdi was a leading member of the Iraqi Communist Party.

1972

In 1972 he obtained another Master of Arts degree in political economy from the University of Poitiers.

He later obtained a PhD in economics.

1980

Both the ICP-Central Leadership and Abdul-Mahdi's splinter gradually disappeared by the early 1980s.

By that time, Abdul-Mahdi adopted Iranian Islamic ideas, eventually merging with the Islamists when Ayatollah Khomeini eradicated the communists and liberal opposition groups in Iran.

Abdul-Mahdi continued his association with Iran and gradually amalgamated his group within the ICP-Central Leadership with the Iranians, rejecting his Marxist past and devoting all his group's time to propagating Khomeini's ideas in France, where he lived at the time.

1982

He eventually was made a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, an exiled opposition party and militia that was formed by Iran in Tehran in 1982 but composed exclusively of Iraqi exiles.

Subsequently, Abdul-Mahdi was re-elected as Vice President of Iraq.

He exerted his limited authority in that role by delaying the first meeting of the National Assembly in March.

In December 2006, the Associated Press reported that Abdul-Mahdi could be the next Prime Minister of Iraq if a new multi-sectarian coalition succeeded in toppling the government of Nouri Al-Maliki.
