you look at three leading candidates fighting for the most powerful position of the prime minister that all share so there is a lot of resentment among the sunni communities will be hearing from people in the groundlings that have been hearing that perhaps are not going to have any say in the political structure so that split an important goal was of order to announce it son you also mentioned about the blockade does. that have put in place it was also a curfew which was due later lifted in the people had to walk to the polling that discourage them a lot of people who went to the polling booths found out that they were not registered these lapses also played a role. can we say anything about the likely outcome of the elections were the prime minister a body be able to secure a second term do you think. well the initial trends actually do suggest an abundance partings leading in sick it is looked at the souther look to the other is a spiritual leader but he's quite political in nature quite unlike society who's the broad shiite leader of iraq and the fact that these two parties are leading

essentially sure that the people of iraq have thought of the problem of sectarianism before they've gone ahead and wanted of course these sort of seen as a guy is trying to say that he's defeated isis on the ground but broadly in iraq you see there's somebody who can absolute the concerns of the sudanese and simply the alliance that that our southern is a backing because he is an alliance with the communists and is talking about unity in iraq so as much as there are other issues of reconstruction and corruption the fact that these people are leading goes on to sure that the people of iraq are mindful about the problem of sectarianism. while the elected politicians be able then to form an inclusive government that tackles those core issues that the like you said such as reconstruction and corruption. well the first is system in iraq was two thousand and three such that political power is shared among sunnis shiites

and the kurds but broadly it's all centered around as if you actually go to iraq you see the images of the mom. of these fighters local fighters that have been backed by iran boys who died fighting nice is essentially the point i'm trying to read is that there is a very strong sort of sense that power. will issue as he will the system is inclusive so we don't know what sort of government comes into play if it is going to be about the with the book of acts other there are better chances but if there are other candidates dominantly are backed by eat are then we are not very sure as to how these problems will be resolved and yes there is a strong problem there. concern and reconstruction they're expected to deal with it but we need to see what the makeup of the government is going to be like it could take months before a government is formed. that was and for a speaking to us from beirut thank you. the world's
