March 27th, 2010

Supporters of former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, seen in the poster, take to the streets after the results released by Iraq's election commission show a secular challenger has beaten the country's prime minister in parliamentary elections, positioning him to be the first to try to form a government in Baghdad, Iraq, Friday, March 26, 2010. The narrow margin — 91 seats for Ayad Allawi's coalition to 89 for al-Maliki's alliance — sets the stage for months of political wrangling as the veterans of Iraq's young democracy attempt to win support for a majority coalition. (AP Photo/Khalid Mohammed)AP - The top vote-getter in Iraq’s parliamentary elections says he wants to negotiate with all parties to form a government that can restore Iraq’s place in the Arab and Muslim world.
