BAGHDAD, Feb 7
The commission estimated in about eight million the number of the voters on the January 30 democratic election.
The slow process of counting these votes revealed, so far, the Shia coalition " United Iraqi Alliance) guided by Al- Sistani to be bound for victory.
The two major Kurdish parties will follow in the second place.
The National Assembly will be composed by 275 seats, the UIA is expected to place many of its members in this chamber.
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party are quite sure to become the second political power in Iraq.
The UIA was surprisingly leading even on the Sunni province of Salaheddin (including the Hussein's birthplace Tikrit), north of Baghdad, where Sunni politicians urged to boycott the elections, the Kurdish coalitions were second.
Sunni people of that area must had payed attention to their politicians' advices and did not vote!
