# IHEC gives al-Sudani’s list 46 seats, first place, short of a majority Date: 2025 ## The fact On 17 November 2025 Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission issued final results of the 11 November parliamentary election: [Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani](/people/mohammed-shia-al-sudani)’s Reconstruction and Development Coalition won 46 of 329 seats, first place, with turnout about 56 percent. Reuters recorded the commission’s figures. The Coordination Framework still treated itself as the largest bloc. Do not invent a unique militia integer as Contribution.size. ## Context Sadr boycotted. Maliki’s State of Law took 29 seats. He did not sit as IHEC. 11 November 2025 polling is parent. 2026 Framework succession is a child. Keep IHEC gives al-Sudani’s list 46 seats, first place, short of a majority on 2025-11-17 separate from neighbouring 27 October 2022 confidence vote, 11 November 2025 election, 17 November 2025 IHEC 46 seats, and 2026 Framework succession. The prime minister of Iraq chairs cabinet and names ministers when the largest parliamentary bloc allows. He does not sit as every Popular Mobilisation Forces brigade, as [Muqtada al-Sadr](/people/muqtada-al-sadr), as CENTCOM, or as the Coordination Framework. This run does not mint Sadr, Maliki, Khamenei, or militia heads. ## Evidence and sources Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is militia-balance: a completed first-place tally that still could not take the chair from the Framework. ## What is established and what is not Established: IHEC gave Reconstruction and Development 46 seats on 17 November 2025, first place in a 329-member chamber. Not established: That 46 seats were a second-term mandate, or a unique later voter-integer as Contribution.size. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Voters cast. He led the list. The Framework still claimed bloc primacy.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies IHEC gives al-Sudani’s list 46 seats, first place, short of a majority, not a later speech about IHEC gives al-Sudani’s list 46 seats, first place, short of a majority. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. IHEC gives al-Sudani’s list 46 seats, first place, short of a majority on 2025-11-17 is not a licence to treat every later Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average IHEC gives al-Sudani’s list 46 seats, first place, short of a majority into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to IHEC tallied. Voters cast. He led the list. The Framework still claimed bloc primacy. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani: https://factrail.ai/people/mohammed-shia-al-sudani ## Drivers - Al-Sudani Coordination Framework militia-balanced premiership: https://factrail.ai/drivers/al-sudani-militia-balance ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iraqi-pm-led-coalition-tops-iraq-election-with-46-seats-commission-says-2025-11-17/ - https://ihec.iq/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/iq-sudani-ihec-2025
