Haider Jawad Kadhim al-Abadi (Arabic: حيدر جواد كاظم العبادي; born 25 April 1952) is an Iraqi politician who was Prime Minister of Iraq from September 2014 until October 2018. Previously he served as Minister of Communication from 2003 to 2004, in the first government after Saddam Hussein was deposed.[1]
He was designated as prime minister by President Fuad Masum on 11 August 2014 to succeed Nouri al-Maliki[2] and was approved by the Iraqi parliament on 8 September 2014.[3] Al-Abadi was included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.[4]
In office throughout the majority of the War in Iraq (2013–2017) which he announced victory against ISIL, he later left the office of Prime Minister in 2018, following rising domestic discontent and widespread violent protests.[5][6][7]
