Turnout rebounds sharply from 2021
National voter participation rose to more than 55%, up from 41% in the 2021 elections..
With no outright parliamentary majority, Iraq now enters a pivotal negotiation phase. Under the constitution, once parliament elects a president, the head of state will nominate a prime minister from the largest parliamentary bloc to form the next government.
As in previous election cycles, coalition-building is expected to be a lengthy and delicate exercise, shaping Iraq’s political pathway in the years ahead.
