2018 Iraqi parliamentary election#Results

The elections took place six months after a non-binding independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan, in which 93% voted in favour of independence. In retaliation, the Iraqi government led by Haider al-Abadi closed Erbil International Airport, seized control of all border crossings between Kurdistan and neighbouring countries and, with the help of the Hashd al-Shaabi militias, militarily seized control of disputed territories, including the oil-rich city of Kirkuk. Nonetheless, Iraqi politicians called for dialogue with the Iraqi Kurdistan government and force them to formally annul the results.{{Cite news|url=http://www.nrttv.com/en/Details.aspx?Jimare=18057|title=Iraqi Pm Abadi and Ammar Al-hakim Agree on Need for 'Constructive' Dialogue With Erbil|date=2018-01-01|work=Nalia Radio and Television|access-date=2018-01-01|archive-date=2 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180102073301/http://www.nrttv.com/en/Details.aspx?Jimare=18057|url-status=dead}}

The elections were originally scheduled for September 2017, but were delayed by six months due to the civil war with the Islamic State which ended in December 2017 with the recapture of their remaining territories. The largest Sunni Arab majority coalition, the Muttahidoon (Uniters for Reform), called for a further six month's delay to allow displaced voters to return to their homes.{{Cite news|url=https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2017/12/iraq-parliament-election-kurdistan-budget.html|title=Delay looks likely for Iraq elections, currently set for May|date=2017-12-08|work=Al-Monitor|access-date=2018-01-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180102073325/https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2017/12/iraq-parliament-election-kurdistan-budget.html|archive-date=2 January 2018|url-status=dead|language=en-us|df=dmy-all}} A Sunni Arab MP described holding the elections at this time as a "military coup against the political process".{{Cite news|url=https://www.iraqinews.com/baghdad-politics/sunni-alliance-holding-iraqi-elections-scheduled-military-coup/|title=Sunni alliance: holding Iraqi elections as scheduled is "military coup"|date=2018-01-10|work=Iraqi News|access-date=2018-01-12}} However, the Supreme Court ruled that delaying the elections would be unconstitutional.{{Cite news|url=http://www.arabnews.com/node/1230666/middle-east|title=Iraqi court rules elections must take place on May 12|date=2018-01-21|work=Arab News|access-date=2018-01-21|language=en}}

Within the Kurdish parties, there had been significant changes since the previous election with the death of both Jalal Talabani, the long-time leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the second largest party, and the opposition leader Nawshirwan Mustafa. In September 2017, Barham Salih, a former prime minister of Iraqi Kurdistan and deputy leader of the PUK, announced that he was leaving the party and forming a new opposition party—the Coalition for Democracy and Justice. The party was seen to have the potential to change the Kurdish political landscape.

After the High Electoral Commission announced the results, there were claims of widespread fraud linked to the electronic counting of votes. The Council of Representatives held an emergency session and passed an amendment to the electoral law that cancelled the votes of internally-displaced and overseas voters and mandated a full manual recount for all other votes.

The Commission appealed to the Supreme Court. In a ruling on 21 June, the court upheld the full manual recount but struck down the cancellation of internally-displaced and overseas voters.{{Cite web|url=https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/1308401/iraq-supreme-court-settles-debate-over-amendment-electoral-law|title=Iraq: Supreme Court Settles Debate over Amendment of Electoral Law|last=Al-awsat|first=Asharq|website =aawsat|language=UK|access-date=2018-06-24}} The final results were released on 9 August, with only minor changes affecting five candidates and two parties.{{Cite web|url=http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-08/10/c_137379859.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180810002242/http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-08/10/c_137379859.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 August 2018|title=Iraq announces final results of parliamentary elections after manual recount|website=Xinhua |access-date=2018-10-27}}

On 8 June 2018, a formal agreement was signed by the leaders of the Alliance towards Reforms (Saairun) and the National Coalition (Wataniya) to become the largest bloc in the Council of Representatives. The bloc is calling for economic reform, consolidation of democracy, and political decentralization. A spokesman for Wataniya said that the agreement would be a prelude to other forces joining the alliance, and that serious talks were underway with the National Wisdom Movement (Hikma), the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Fatah Alliance, and the Decision Alliance (Muttahidoon) as an alliance of these six electoral coalitions would constitute a majority that could form a government.{{Cite web|url=https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/1294961/initial-understanding-between-sadr-allawi-hakim-%E2%80%98biggest-bloc%E2%80%99-parliament|title=Initial Understanding Between Sadr-Allawi-Hakim on 'Biggest Bloc' in Parliament|work=Asharq Al-Awsat|language=UK|access-date=2018-06-10}}

Al-Sadr announced on 12 June that he had formed an alliance with Fatah, while maintaining an alliance with Al-Wataniya.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/iraq-al-sadr-allies-with-fatah-to-form-majority-group/1173347|title=Iraq: Al-Sadr allies with Fatah to form majority group|website=Anadolu Agency|access-date=12 June 2018|date=12 June 2018}} Prime Minister Abadi later met with Al Sadr on 23 June. Al Sadr afterwards announced he had formed "a cross-sectarian, cross-ethnic alliance" with Abadi and that it would speed up the formation of a new government.{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iraq-election-alliance/iraqi-pm-abadi-and-cleric-sadr-announce-political-alliance-idUSKBN1JJ0ZS|title=PM Abadi, Sadr alliance brings Iraq government closer|first=Ahmed|last=Saeed |date=23 June 2018|work=Reuters}} Abadi also announced that the new alliance between his Victory Alliance's and Al Sadr's Alliance towards Reforms "is not in contrast to any other alliances either of the two lists have previously entered into with other blocs, rather, it flows in the same direction and same principles."

The final results of the election were announced on 9 August, starting the process to form the government. Parliament convened on 3 September, but were unable to elect a speaker due to rivalries between two blocs who both claimed to be the largest coalition, entitled to nominate the prime minister. Al-Abadi presented an alliance with Saairun, Wataniya, Hikma and other smaller lists who between then held a majority of seats. However, Fatah also claimed to have a majority, based on an alliance with State of Law and with members of Abadi's coalition who had defected.{{Cite news|url=https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-iraq-politics/iraqi-parliament-holds-first-session-since-may-election-but-fails-to-elect-speaker-idUKKCN1LJ1OB|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180904162248/https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-iraq-politics/iraqi-parliament-holds-first-session-since-may-election-but-fails-to-elect-speaker-idUKKCN1LJ1OB|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 September 2018|title=Iraqi parliament holds first session since May election, but fails to elect speaker|date=2018-09-03|publisher=Reuters|access-date=2018-10-27|language=en-GB}}

Two weeks later parliament reconvened and elected a speaker in a secret ballot, with candidates from each of the rival blocs. Muhammad al-Halbusi, a Sunni Arab (as per the Iraqi tradition of muḥāṣaṣah) but backed by Fatah was elected.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/iraq-elects-pro-iran-sunni-as-parliament-speaker/29492394.html|title=Iraq Elects Pro-Iran Sunni As Parliament Speaker|publisher=Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty|language=en|access-date=2018-10-27}}

At the same time, violent protests occurred in Basra and other cities in the south over polluted water—which had hospitalised tens of thousands of people—and the lack of reliable electricity. Religious leaders called for a new prime minister who hadn't been in government before. Abadi announced on 13 September 2018 that he would respect this call and not run for a second term as prime minister.{{Cite web|url=https://gulfnews.com/news/mena/iraq/al-abadi-indicates-he-won-t-seek-second-term-1.2278392|title=Al Abadi indicates he won't seek second term|agency=AP|access-date=15 September 2018|date=14 September 2018}}

The vote for the president took place on 2 October. Previously, the president had always been a member of the second-largest Kurdish party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, under an agreement with the Kurdistan Democratic Party whereby the KDP would be president of Iraqi Kurdistan. However, the KDP fielded a separate candidate, Fuad Hussein, insisting that they had the right to the Presidency as the largest party. Both candidates went to a vote in the parliament, with the PUK's Barham Salih winning. He immediately nominated independent Shi'ite Adil Abdul-Mahdi, a former oil minister seen as acceptable to all parties and to both Iran and the United States, as prime minister-designate.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-45722528|title=New Iraq president names PM-designate|date=2018-10-03|publisher=BBC News|access-date=2018-10-27|language=en-GB}}
