Shiite political parties and alliances are projected to secure around 183 seats in Iraq’s upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for November 11, according to elections affairs advisor Kareem al-Tamimi.

Al-Tamimi said the Reconstruction and Development (Al-Ima'ar Wal Tanmiya) Alliance, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, is expected to win about 50 seats, followed by Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law Coalition with 31 seats. The Sadiqoon bloc of Qais al-Khazali is projected to take 22 seats, the National State Forces Alliance led by Ammar al-Hakim about 18, and the Badr Organization headed by Hadi al-Amiri around 14.

Smaller groups — including Tasmeem, Abshir Ya Iraq, Asas, Alternative (Al-Badil), and Huqooq — are collectively expected to gain additional seats, bringing the Shiite total to approximately 183.

Roughly 135–140 seats out of 329 in the Council of Representatives are for Shia — around 41–43% of the total parliament.

The parliamentary elections will fill 329 seats in Iraq’s Council of Representatives. According to the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC), more than 21.4 million Iraqis are eligible to vote across 18 electoral districts.
