Iraq elections: All you need to know
Iraq's parliamentary elections set for May 12 will indirectly decide on a new prime minister and president. The elections decide the 329 members of the Council of Representatives who will, in turn, elect the Iraqi president and prime minister. Many parties have taken the opportunity to emphasize a unified, cross-sectarian national identity in the run-up to the vote after elections four years ago which came at a time when Iraq was plagued with some of the worst sectarian violence in recent history. But unlike in 2014 and 2010, when large coalitions encompassing a wide spectrum of political groups ran, the 2018 election landscape is splintered by intra-sectarian divisions and fragmented Shia, Sunni and Kurdish factions.
