Challenger overtakes Iraq PM in overall vote count (AP)

March 16th, 2010

Electoral workers sort through ballots cast at a counting center in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, March 14, 2010. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's political coalition took an early vote lead Saturday in the election's all-important battleground of Baghdad, pulling away from its two closest rivals in the latest indication that Iraqis want a moderate government instead of Shiite religious hard-liners leading the postwar nation. (AP Photo/Khalid Mohammed)AP - A secular coalition challenging the Iraqi prime minister in the country’s historic parliamentary elections has narrowly pulled ahead for the first time in the overall vote count, although it still trails in the crucial province-by-province count.
