Social media users shared a picture showing al-Rikabi posing with the aforementioned leaders as an electoral poster for their alliance.
Al-Rikabi said in a statement to Shafaq News, "There is no formal or informal communication, deliberations, alliances, discussions, negotiations, or understandings, direct or indirect, overt or covert, with these bodies in the image or with other parties in power."
"There will be no alliances with them in the future for any reason or condition because this is a firm foundation for the movement."
"The picture is a collage. We did not meet in one place," he added.
