BBC: Shia majority for Iraq parliament
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 12:03 PM by MaineDem
The Shia United Iraqi Alliance party has won a majority of seats in Iraq's new transitional parliament.

The party, which won the 30 January election with 48% of the vote, was allocated 140 seats.

The Kurdish parties, which came second in the poll, have 75 seats and interim PM Iyad Allawi's party gets 40 seats.

The new 275-seat National Assembly will now have to choose a president and two vice-presidents, who will then decide on a prime minister and cabinet.
