Fatah Conquest Alliance in Iraq's Parliament US can leave

Last October, Iraq experienced early elections but remain mired in a political impasse. The Sadrist Movement led by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr secured the most seats in parliament but has yet to form a government.

Political parties in Iraq typically form coalitions based on the sector of the population they claim to represent, either religiously (Shiite and Sunni) or ethnicity (Kurdish).
