Campaign
A candidate for the State of Law Coalition, Shaykh Haitham Kadhim al-Husaini was shot dead by gunmen who attacked his car when he left a campaign rally in Jabala district, a mixed Sunni-Shiite area where he lived. His wife and four children had been killed in a separate attack at their home two years previously. He was one of eight candidates across Iraq who were killed during the campaign.
Results
In March, the Iraqi National Dialogue Front said they would form an alliance with the State of Law Coalition.
