Al-Maliki Bloc Wins Most Seats in Iraqi Parliamentary Elections, Preliminary Results Show
Al-Maliki Bloc Wins Most Seats in Iraqi Parliamentary Elections, Preliminary Results Show
5-19-14
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s State Law Coalition won the most seats in Iraq’s parlimentary election last month, according to preliminary results, likely handing him a third term in office but also pressuring him to cut deals with rivals.
Al-Maliki’s State Law Coalition won 92 seats out of the 328 seats in the Council of Representatives. The National Iraqi Alliance, a Shia bloc, won 159 seats, five short of a majoirty. This bloc includes State of Law, Al Ahrar, Muwatin, Fadhila and the National Reform Trend. Mutahidoon and Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, Sunni blocs, and Al-Ahrar, a Shia bloc, won 28 seats. State of Law won 30 seats in Baghdad alone, and came in first in 10 provinces.
The election, which took place April 30, was the first since most American troops left the country in 2010. Around 9,040 candidates vied for 328 parliamentary seats. If the votes are confirmed in the coming weeks, the win would give Al-Maliki his third term as prime minister.
The political issues that dominated his time in office so far will likely remain the same going forward. Since taking office in 2006, Al-Maliki has tried to stave off an increasingly violent al-Qaeda led insurgency in Anbar Province–the epicenter of Iraq’s Sunni minority resistance. Al-Maliki, a Shia, leads a Shiite-dominated government. Over the past 8 years in an attempt to consolidate his power, Maliki moved several key government offices under the direction of the prime minister’s office.

Baghdad: Election results due Monday are expected to put Nouri Al Maliki in the driver’s seat to remain Iraq’s prime minister for a third term despite vocal opposition and markedly worsening security.The tallies from the April 30 general election, delayed for weeks due to a litany of complaints according to the electoral commission, are likely to show Al Maliki’s bloc won the most seats in parliament but fell short of a majority.That would mean the incumbent, who hails from Iraq’s Shiite majority, would require the support of Sunni Arab and Kurdish parties.But many of these have refused to countenance another term for Al Maliki, who they accuse of consolidating power and being to blame for a protracted surge in unrest.Iraq’s electoral commission is expected to release the results, which remain subject to challenge, at 1200 GMT.Leaked reports released by political parties and reported by Iraqi media throughout the vote counting process have said Al Maliki’s State of Law alliance would win around 90 out of 328 seats in parliament.A handful of smaller parties — including those linked to former premier Eyad Allawi, powerful Shiite cleric Moqtada Al Sadr, and Kurdish regional president Massud Barzani — are estimated to each win between around 20 and 30 seats.Regardless of the final results, the government formation process is expected to take months as the various parties are likely to seek an all-encompassing government package, including the selection of the president and the speaker of parliament.Under a de facto agreement between Iraq’s communities, the prime minister is a Shiite Arab, the president a Kurd and the parliament speaker a Sunni Arab.The election and its aftermath come amid a year-long surge in violence that has left more than 3,500 people dead this year, fuelling fears Iraq could be slipping back into the all-out conflict that left tens of thousands dead in 2006 and 2007.The run-up to the vote, Iraq’s first since US troops withdrew at the end of 2011, was plagued by attacks on candidates and campaign rallies, and allegations of malpractice that contributed to lower turnout in areas of the country populated by disgruntled minority Sunnis.But it has nevertheless been hailed largely as a success by the international community, with the US and UN praising Iraqi voters for standing up to militancy. http://goo.gl/WIw2zo

Re: Al-Maliki Bloc Wins Most Seats in Iraqi Parliamentary Elections, Preliminary Results Show
like i said in the beginning of the elections m will win hook or by crook and it was the crook part. this morning when i read several different articles that iran called several different parties to make sure it was m who wins in knew it was done eventhough he only got 93 votes i promise you iran will make sure the majority 163 will go along with him. now comes the interesting part what will the kurds do i quess it depends on m if the kurds staY OR SPLIT INTO A NEW COUNTRY AND THEY DO HAVE THE OIL AND WATER THAT BAGDAD DOES NOT HAVE. FINALLY THE BIGEST SHOCKER IS OBAMA RENEWED THE PROTECTION FOR ANOTHER YEAR THAT IRAQ DID NOT WANT.IF I WERE A BETTING MAN I WOULD PUT YOUR DINARS IN A FREZZER TO STAY FRESH.
