Iraq results point to tight race
Posted on 11. Mar, 2010 by admin in Featured
Preliminary results from Iraq’s election show the grouping of PM Nouri Maliki is leading in two southern provinces, the electoral body says.
The partial results from Najaf and Babil, in the Shia south, are the first released - four days after balloting.
Full initial results, which will be made public when 30% of the ballots are counted, could be released later by the Independent High Electoral Commission.
Final results for all 18 provinces are not expected for a fortnight. </p
