Life

Pachachi comes from a family well-known politician and diplomat, one of those 40 pre-1958 Iraq dominant families. His father, his father and his uncle were prime minister at the time of the Iraqi monarchy. Adnan itself was 1966-1967 Minister of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of Shiite General Naji Talib.

After the seizure of the Baath Party under Saddam Hussein, he went into exile in Abu Dhabi. There he was appointed foreign policy adviser and minister. The USA built it a " representative of large parts of the Iraqi opposition " on, but when he got up later than the election on 30 January 2005, only 12,728 votes, proved to be propaganda.

End of May 2004, he was nominated by the United States as a future president of Iraq. Pachachi was proposed after longer soundings by the UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi to the president and especially enjoyed the confidence of the U.S. State Department. However, he declined the office, because it was mainly representative nature and because it was assumed that the 25 -member Governing Council Ghazi al - Yawar majority preferred. The then 82 -year-old Sunni Pachachi had 2003/ 04 led the drafting of the interim constitution.
