The Combatant Clergy League came to being following the succession crisis caused by Kashafli's resignation from politics. The Wahdist League had already been split into many factions but Kashafli's resignation would guarantee a full split. The left-winged factions of the Wahdist League had endorsed their candidate, [[Majed Al-Basim]], to become the next chairman of the party. Meanwhile, the right-winged factions endorsed Erda Rasheed, former foreign affairs minister, to become the next chairman. |
The Combatant Clergy League came to being following the succession crisis caused by Kashafli's resignation from politics. The Wahdist League had already been split into many factions but Kashafli's resignation would guarantee a full split. The left-winged factions of the Wahdist League had endorsed their candidate, [[Majed Al-Basim]], to become the next chairman of the party. Meanwhile, the right-winged factions endorsed Erda Rasheed, former foreign affairs minister, to become the next chairman. The centrist faction, initially proposing their own candidate, Mohammad Al-Karak, eventually decided to support Al-Basim instead. Upon the election of Al-Basim as chairman of the Wahdist League, the right-winged factions of the party split off from the party. The withdrawing members formed their own party, the Combatant Clergy League, led by Rasheed. |

Following the split, the Wahdist League still managed to win a majority and formed government. Notably, the Wahdist League faced a significant decrease in seats as most of the withdrawing members, now representing the Combatant Clergy League, had retained their seats in the elections. Achieving 30 seats in the Wahdist Consultative Assembly, the Combatant Clergy League quickly established itself as a major party. |
