Iraq: Post-Saddam National Elections
Description:
Elections for a transitional National Assembly, provincial councils, and a Kurdish
regional assembly were held on January 30, 2005. High voter turnout in mostly Shiite
and Kurdish areas led to a first and second-place finish for slates backed by these two
communities; and they are negotiating what appears to be a fragile governing coalition.
Sunni Arabs mostly boycotted. See CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: U.S. Regime Change
Efforts and Post-Saddam Governance.
