Arab States Weekly Review 27 March – 2 April 2010

The Iraqi National Movement, led by Iyad Allawi, won Iraq’s General Election by securing 91 out of the 325 seats in parliament. The State of Law alliance, the party of incumbent Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki, became second with 89 seats. A Shia religious movement got 70. Two main Kurdish parties secured 43 seats together. It may take months for a coalition to emerge.
