Iraqi Elections: Latest News Updates

Secularist Coalition ClaimsVictory in Iraqi Elections
Ayad Allawi wins most seats in parliamentary elections, beating Shiite bloc headed by country’s PM Nouri al-Maliki.

Iraqi elections hit with claims of fraud
Prime minister Nour al-Maliki’s bloc makes claim of vote-rigging against secular partyIraqi prime minister Nour al-Maliki’s political bloc has called for a recount of all ballots cast in the general election nine days ago, alleging an official in the government-run election centre has wrongly entered data to favour a rival candidate.The claim, from key Maliki supporter Ali al-Adeeb, comes despite preliminary results showing the incumbent prime minister’s State of Law coalition has received more votes than its two main rivals with almost 80% of ballots counted.Abeed said the State of Law list had lodged an official complaint with the Iraqi high election commission (Ihec), which supervised the ballot and the subsequent count of 18.9 million registered votes. His claim follows sporadic allegations of fraud levelled by the political bloc of the man running second in counting, former prime minister, Iyad Allawi.Competing claims of vote rigging have been flung by all key players in the election in what has become a chaotic and uncertain aftermath. Several election observers have also raised doubts about the vote’s integrity. However, none of the complainants, including Maliki’s bloc, have so far tabled proof of systemic irregularities in the voting process, or the count.The slow pace of tallying results is causing concern, but the commission says it is on track to deliver a full count on Thursday, 11 days after polls closed in what was only Iraq’s second full parliamentary election. Counting inched upwards today yesterday from 76% to 79% of ballots. The claims of widespread irregularities were met with scepticism by two Iraqi political analysts.
