Iraqi National Movement
The Iraqi National Movement or Iraqiya List is an Iraqi political coalition formed to contest the Iraqi legislative election of 2010 by Iraqi Vice-President Tariq al-Hashimi's Renewal List, the Iraqi National List led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and the Iraqi National Dialogue Front led by Saleh al-Mutlak. The party includes both Shi'a leaders (like Allawi) and Sunni leaders (like al-Mutlaq and al-Hashimi) and claims to be secular and non-sectarian.[1].
In February, after appeals against a ban on Iraqi National Dialogue Front leader Saleh al-Mutlaq were rejected, the Iraqi National Dialogue Front decided to boycott the elections in protest of the decision and urged other parties to boycott as well.[2] On 25 February al-Mutlaq announced that his party will take part in the upcoming general election and urged his followers to turn out en masse to avoid fraud.[3]
