Iraqiya won the largest share of seats in the March 2010 parliamentary elections, yet its leader, former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, will not return to his old job.

此外还有逊尼派阿拉伯人。 多数逊尼派阿拉伯人支持的多教派政治联盟“伊拉克名单”是否支持马利基政府仍然无法确定。 “伊拉克名单”在2010年3月的议会选举中赢得的席位最多，但其领导人，前总理伊亚德·阿拉维将不会再任旧职。 相反，他将领导全国战略政策委员会，这个机构负责管理国内安全，但其权限界定尚不够清晰。
