Iraq elections.(Inside Track)
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Dawa Party strengthened its hold in nationwide balloting on January 31 that also brought some major power shifts among political-religious blocs in provincial elections. Conducted under tight security, the elections were largely peaceful, although one suicide bombing killed 16. The election results have been portrayed in much of the global media as a sweeping victory for al-Maliki's Dawa Party, which ran this time as a coalition calling itself Enforcing the Law. A1-Maliki and the Shiite Dawa/Enforcing the Law are usually described as moderates, in contrast to even more radical Shiite forces, such as the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), headed by Abdul Azziz al-Hakim, and candidates endorsed by the Mahdi Army's Muqtada al-Sadr. However, like al-Hakim and al-Sadr, Prime Minister al-Maliki and his Dawa Party are closely tied to Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
