“All rumors in the media about the departure of Haider al-Abadi from Iraq or the beloved capital Baghdad is far from truth," the Nasr (Victory) alliance said in a statement.
The statement described the efforts as a foreign agenda against Abadi.
"It is part of a campaign to promote foreign agendas and part of cheap political rivalry practiced by irresponsible actors,” said the Shiite bloc that won 42 seats in the May 12 elections.
Abadi and current prime minister Adil Abdul Mahdi's guards came to a head last week when Abdul Mahdi's guards reportedly raided the former prime minister's residence in Baghdad and threatened him to leave the capital.
Hours later, Iraqi media and social media pages buzzed with reports that Abadi was on his way out of Baghdad to the Kurdistan Region.
Abadi will not relinquish his national duties and will continue as head of Nasr Coalition, read the statement.
Rasheed al-Ghazawi, a member of the Nasr bloc told Kitabat news agency that “buying a house in Erbil does not harm him as it part of Iraq," while denying claims of the former prime minister quitting Baghdad.
