About Mustafa Al-Kadhimi
Mustafa Abdul Latif Mishatat al-Gharibawi (Arabic: مصطفى عبد اللطيف مشتت, romanized: Muṣṭafá ʻAbd al-Laṭīf Mushattat; born 5 July 1967 in the Kadhimiya area of Baghdad), known as Mustafa al-Kadhimi is an independent Iraqi politician, lawyer, bureaucrat and former intelligence officer who served as the prime minister of Iraq from 7 May 2020 to 27 October 2022. He was nominated as prime minister in May 2020 following the 2019 Iraqi protests and the resignation of Adel Abdul Mahdi. He previously served as columnist for several news outlets and the Director of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, originally appointed in June 2016. He briefly served as Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs in an acting capacity in 2020. The latter part of his tenure closely followed the 2022 Iraqi political crisis. Following the conclusion of his term as prime minister in 2022, he spent over two years abroad, returning to Baghdad in February 2025. During his time away, he resided in London and the United Arab Emirates. His return was at the invitation of current Iraqi political leaders who sought his assistance in addressing the country's economic challenges.
