World The election had no clear winner, leaving Iraq facing months of negotiations on a new government and a power vacuum that insurgents have tried to exploit as U.S. troops prepare to end combat operations. Five months of political impasse after the last national vote in 2005 allowed sectarian bloodshed to take hold. The all-out war between majority Shi'ites and the Sunnis who dominated Iraq under Saddam Hussein has faded, but Sunni Islamist insurgents continue a campaign of suicide bombings. The State of Law alliance headed by Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki got 89 out of 325 parliamentary seats in the March 7 vote. That was two seats behind the cross-sectarian Iraqiya alliance led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, which won broad backing from the Sunni minority. Maliki said on March 31 his coalition had appealed against the results to the Independent High Electoral Commission. At the time, he said any irregularities were unlikely to have a significant influence on the formation of the next government. His alliance said Sunday that it wanted a recount in five provinces, and at the very least votes should be tallied anew in Baghdad. The capital is the most populous of Iraq's 18 provinces and counts for 68 seats, just over a fifth of parliament. "We believe the amount of manipulation in the votes in these five provinces could reach 750,000 votes ... this is a huge number and possibly could change enormously the election results," coalition spokesman Hachim al-Hasani told reporters. "This is why we presented this appeal and we hope that the judicial appeal panel will do its duty ... and look into it seriously." He said most of the votes affected by fraud would otherwise have gone to the State of Law coalition. The United States and the United Nations have said the Iraqi election appeared to be reasonably fair though not perfect. NEGOTIATIONS As both the two leading parties fell well short of a majority in the March poll, they have been left seeking partners to form a government. Maliki's alliance has held merger talks with the third-placed Shi'ite Iraqi National Alliance (INA). The Sadrists, led by anti-U.S. cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, had the best showing within the INA with around 40 seats but their leader has opposed helping Maliki become prime minister again. The political jockeying is taking place as the U.S. forces which invaded Iraq in 2003 prepare to end combat operations in August in preparation for a full withdrawal by the end of 2011. The U.S. plans could be threatened by an upsurge in violence and instability. Bombings and other attacks since the beginning of April have killed more than 100 people. Allawi's Iraqiya list said Sunday authorities were arresting some of its supporters. "We demand the immediate end to random mass arrests, state terrorism and the illegal intimidation of families as has happened to our supporters," Iraqiya spokeswoman Maysoon al-Damluji said at a press conference.
