Shafaq News/ The anti-establishment "al-Bayt al-Watani" (the National House) party might expel four of the 19-member general secretariat in the latest sign of growing internal strife inside the movement that emerged from the October protests.

A source told Shafaq News Agency that the four members proposed joining gatherings organized by the persons close to the outgoing Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi.

"Groups led by Kadhem al-Sahlani, who works in al-Kadhimi's bureau, are organizing gatherings and meetings," the source explained.

"Those proposals were not welcomed in the movement. The general secretariat might convene soon to vote on expelling those members."
