I am very gratefull to any one help me and will help me in everything he did because these days I need some money urgently and I didnt find any job till today...

Ethnoreligious Areas

Iraq has long been a religious, ethnic and ideological mix. Shiite Muslim Arabs are the majority, but Saddam's Baathists were Sunni Muslims. In forming a new government, Shiite leaders insisted their share of power should reflect its majority, a position that worried other minorities as well as Iraq's mostly Sunni Arab neighbors. Iyad Allawi, a Shiite who was chosen as prime minister of the interim government, heads a group that stresses secularism and counts Sunnis and Shiites among its members.

ELECTION RESULT

The final allocation gives seats in the Transitional National Assembly to 12 parties out of the 111 political entities on the ballot.

Iraqis voted for lists of candidates, rather than individuals, in the National Assembly election. In all, some 19,000 candidates were competing, and by law at least 30 percent of the candidates on each list were women. When the vote was certified Feb. 17, 2005, the United Iraqi Alliance, which carried the endorsement of top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, had won the majority of seats. But the alliance lacked the two-thirds majority needed to select the president, making coalition-building an essential task in forming the new government. Another challenge was including Sunni Arabs, who came out to the polls in low numbers and were therefore under-represented in the allocation of seats.

Votes And Seats
In results certified by the Iraqi Electoral Commission Feb. 17, 2005, 12 of the 111 parties and candidate lists that competed in Iraq's election got enough votes to gain seats in the new National Assembly. Here are the parties that won:
United Iraqi Alliance: 4,075,295 votes; 140 seats
Kurdistan Alliance: 2,175,551 votes; 75 seats
Iraqi List: 1,168,943 votes; 40 seats
Iraqis: 150,680 votes; 5 seats
Turkomen Iraqi Front: 93,480 votes; 3 seats
National Independent Elites: 69,938 votes; 3 seats
Communist Party: 69,920 votes; 2 seats
Islamic Kurdish Society: 60,592 votes; 2 seats
Islamic Labor Movement in Iraq: 43,205 votes; 2 seats
National Democratic Alliance: 36,795 votes; 1 seat
National Rafidain List: 36,255 votes; 1 seat
Reconciliation and Liberation: 30,796 votes; 1 seats
Total votes: 8,456,266
Invalid votes: 94,305 total
Minimum number of votes needed for seat: 30,750

Turnout was 58 percent
"This is a new birth for Iraq, a free Iraq," election commission spokesman Fareed Ayar said.
Of about 8.56 million votes cast in the election, the UIA received 4.08 million, the combined Kurdish parties garnered 2.17 million and the Iraqi list of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi got 1.17 million.

But the shape of the government is not clear until this moment because many resources said that Dr. Ibraheem (ISALMIC DAAWA PARTY) iwill win and become the vice president ,Jalal Altalbani will be the president of Iraq but all this is talk and nothing is true and can be believed.

About Transitional National Assembly

Given the allocations, no single party has the two-thirds majority that is necessary to name the three-member Presidency Council, which is the Assembly’s first order of business. Consequently, the parties will have to engage in negotiations and coalition building in order to make governmental appointments and enact legislation.
While the Presidency Council serves a largely ceremonial function, it is entrusted with the task of appointing a prime minister, who will exercise the majority of executive and administrative powers. The prime minister and his or her Council of Ministers is subject to approval by a majority vote in the Assembly.
According to the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL), the Assembly must also muster a two-thirds majority to overturn presidential vetoes of proposed legislation.
The primary task of the Assembly is to draft a constitution. Several political leaders who fared poorly in the elections have indicated that they are still interested in participating in the constitutional process. This is in keeping with the provisions of the TAL that says the Assembly shall proceed with this task “by encouraging debate on the constitution through regular general public meetings in all parts of Iraq and through the media, and receiving proposals from the citizens of Iraq as it writes the constitution.”
According to the TAL, the Assembly has until August 15 to propose a draft of the document to the Iraqi people, who will vote on it in a referendum October 15. If the voters approve the constitution, it will serve as the basis for a new election December 15 to establish a constitutional government.
More than 8.5 million Iraqis participated in the January elections despite threats of violence and terrorist attacks. Voter turnout was slightly above 58 percent.
Voters also cast ballots for governorate councils in each of Iraq’s 18 provinces.
"This is a birth for Iraq, a free Iraq," said IECI spokesman Farid Ayar as he released the election results February 13.

Thank you...................

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE ELECTION

Hi again,today I will talk about Iraqian parties that were competed in the last election, in 30 January,2005 , instead of the final results of election because the annoucing of the final results have been delayed a the final resulsts will be annouced in the next coming days.

United Iraqi Alliance

Abdul Aziz al-Hakim

Widely expected to dominate the election, the United Iraqi Alliance fielded 228 candidates, drawn largely from the Shiite political establishment and tacitly endorsed by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. The list included Shiite cleric Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the key Shiite political organization, the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. Al-Hakim opposed Saddam Hussein from exile in Iran before returning after the U.S.-led invasion and serving on the Iraq Governing Council.
Also running with the alliance was Ahmad Chalabi, a Secular Shiite banker who led the Iraqi National Congress, an umbrella for groups that included Iraqi exiles, Kurds and Shiites. Chalabi, a one-time Pentagon confidant, fell out of favor with Washington in 2004 after claims he passed intelligence information to Iran.

The Iraqi List
Ayad Allawi

Considered more secular than the United Iraqi Alliance, The Iraqi List fielded 233 candidates. The list included a mix of Shiites and Sunnis, but Shiites accounted for the majority of top names. The group is led by interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, who's considered a moderate with a reputation for toughness in dealing with the multiple insurgencies gripping Iraq. The 60-year-old Shiite physician spent three decades in exile and has a long history of working with the U.S. government. A former member of Saddam's Baath Party, he comes from a wealthy family that was close to the royal family that ruled before Saddam took power.

Iraqis Party
Ghazi al-Yawer

A mix of Sunnis and Shiites, the Iraqis Party fielded 80 candidates. The party is led by interim President Ghazi al-Yawer, and favored by many Sunnis who agreed with al-Yawer's opposition to U.S. attacks aimed at wiping out insurgents in the hotbed cities of Fallujah and Mosul. Al-Yawer is a prominent Sunni member of the Shammar tribe, which includes Shiite clans and is one of the largest tribes in the Persian Gulf region. A civil engineer born in Mosul, he studied in Saudi Arabia and at Georgetown University in the United States. His post as interim president is largely ceremonial.

Kurdish Alliance List

Expected to get the bulk of the Kurdish vote in northern Iraq, the Kurdish Alliance fielded 165 candidates. The biggest names were Kurdistan Democratic Party leader Massoud Barzani and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan leader Jalal Talabani. Talabani is a Sunni Kurd who joined the Kurdistan Democratic Party as a teenager and then founded the PUK in 1957. Barzani, also a Sunni Kurd, leads the party founded by his father in 1946. He took over the party leadership when his father died in 1979 and has survived two assassination attempts. He also helped negotiate a short-lived autonomy agreement with Iraq's government in 1970 that ended nine years of fighting.

Assembly of Independent Democrats
Adnan Pachachi

Expected to fare well among intellectuals and the urban middle class, the Assembly of Independent Democrats fielded 78 candidates. The most notable was Sunni elder statesman Adnan Pachachi. A prominent secular Sunni, Pachachi is seen as a possible compromise figure to lead a future government. He was foreign minister in the government toppled in the 1968 coup by Saddam's Baath Party, and a member of the post-U.S. invasion Iraqi National Council.

National Democratic Party

The National Democratic Party, which has found some support among the educated Sunni middle class, fielded 48 candidates. One was Naseer Kamel al-Chaderchi, a Sunni lawyer, businessman and landowner who leads the party. A member of the former Iraqi Governing Council, al-Chaderchi is the son of Kamel al-Chaderchi, who played a leading role in Iraq's democratic development until 1968, when the Baath Party seized power.

National Rafidain List

An Assyrian Christian group, the National Rafidain List was expected to pick up some support for its 28 candidates from Iraq's tiny Christian community.
The People's Union
The People's Union was one of few groups whose candidates didn't have close ethnic or religious ties, and was seen as a possible pick among Iraqi expatriates living in secular countries. Its 275 candidates were drawn from secular Iraqis who fear clerical rule and leftists, including many women.

IRAQ AFTER ELECTION

Now we can talk about the new born of Iraq after the great victory in the election before few days.
Now we can talk about the rebuilding and reconstruction of Iraq & we can talk also about the future of Iraq and when must set the date for leaving the (Multiple Identity Forces).
The Iraq passes the hardest level in the game, but still have some problems
And as I think these problems easily resolved by the unity and courageous of Iraqi people.

These days Iraq witness many violnace attacks against policemens and members of the new army but all this attacks will not give any success for the terrorists in Iraq because Iraq pass the most difficult stage which was the elction and succeed in this exam with high degree of courageous and patience.

I am very happy because it passes peacefully but also sad on the people that died in the battle from the invasion till nowaday,may God bless every one died for this country.

i will write aout the final results of election but until now the UAI is first of all then the list od the vice president(The Iraqi list) then the others after it.

thank you .

The percentage of particepating was over the anticipations in all tense regions in the west and north of Iraq and in Baghdad inspite of all the explsoins that we were hear all the days before and in the day of election but the Iraqi people insist to go and vote to defeat the terroroists the enemy of peace and democarcy in Iraq but they loss this battle of foiling the election and begin to loss there war in Iraq due to resolve and brave of the Iraqi people that any one in this world have the same courage .
I wish you were here in Iraq in the election day to see the future of Iraq hold by the courageous of those people and I was sure that the good days are very near and the Iraqi people decide their futre and defeat all the evil power that are work to stop the heifer of progress in Iraq but they were in fault because they choose the wrong country and wrong people ,I'm very glad because I was having the chance to participate in these elections and vote to build a new Iraq and amke a new future for this country that have witness many troubles since hundreds of years .
The success of the election was acheived by many factors :

First: the courageous of the Iraqi people.

Second: the courageous of the security menincluding (ING,policemen,members of new army).

These elections witness some violence works which was made to terrify the voters, to prevent them from voting because 9 suicidal operations on 9 voting stations in Baghdad and a bombed car in Baghdad also ,many Mortar shells have been dropped in diffferent places in Iraq and the number of the victims that went down in these attack was 36 persons ,6 people were from the security and the others were civilianshave been killed and more than 97 persons have been injured, msot of them were civilians.
