The tallies from the April 30 general election, delayed for weeks due to a litany of complaints according to the electoral commission, are likely to show Maliki's bloc won the most seats in parliament but fell short of a majority. That would mean the incumbent, who hails from Iraq's Shiite majority, would require the support of Sunni Arab and Kurdish parties. But many of these have refused to countenance a**ther term for Maliki, who they accuse of consolidating power and being to blame for a protracted surge in unrest, forming a significant hurdle for his re-election bid.
