Election Results

Patrick Ruffini presents the Iraqi Election Results Map.

The two main parties in Iraq, the mainly-Shia United Iraqi Alliance, and the Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan are ethnic parties -- but they're the most vanilla ethnic parties you could imagine. The Kurdish alliance is a fusion of two parties who once fought a civil war against each other. With the exception of Allawi's Iraqi List, these coalitions pretty much include everyone of a particular ethnicity. This holds true even for the parties beyond the top three -- for instance, President Al-Yawer's coalition of Sunnis, which finished fourth at 1.78%, the Iraqi Turkmen Front coming in fifth, and the National Rafidain List, representing Assyrian Christians, which turned out a huge vote in U.S. overseas voting.
