    Anbar and Nineveh Form New Provincial Governments
    by Reidar Visser


    Through last-minute maneuvering this week, both Anbar and Nineveh managed to get new provincial councils seated before the end-of-Ramadan holiday takes centre stage in Iraq. This means the process of forming councils following the local elections earlier this year is complete.

    The Mutahhidun bloc of the Nujayfi brothers expressed satisfaction with both new governments, reflecting the fact that they played a key role in forming them. That is something of a comeback for the Nujayfis, who had seen a substantial drop of votes on their home turf in Mosul in the elections themselves. Whereas it seems clear that much wheeling and dealing has been involved and Mutahhidun among other things were forced to cooperate with the Kurds in the Nineveh council (they had marginalized them in 2009), Mutahiddun now clearly does emerge as something of a leading party in the Sunni-majority parts of Iraq from Anbar via Nineveh to Diyala, and with some decent representation in the Baghdad council as well.

    What happened politically is that Nujayfi in both governorates managed to win people from the Karbuli and Mutlak factions over to his side in order to neutralize potentially hostile blocs. This is a significant victory for Nujayfi since these are precisely the factions of what was formerly Iraqiyya who have been more disposed to cooperating with Maliki. Other parties with a greater potential for working with Maliki than the Nujayfi camp, including the bloc of former Anbar governor Fahdawi and the list of the Yawer clan in Nineveh, in the end remained marginal and on the sidelines of the council formations. Maliki can now probably only count on Salahaddin among the Sunni-majority governorates for some potential support.

    The council formations in Anbar thus cements the role of Nujayfi as some kind of unifying figure in the Iraqi north-west, and to some extent restores lost prestige resulting from the marked decline in votes in Nineveh itself. It also signifies the return of some of the radical rhetoric that characterized protest movements in Anbar earlier in the year. With Nujayfi stronger, these parts of Iraq are inevitably drawn closer to Turkey, the Kurds and Sunni oppositionists in Syria than what might have happened with an Anbar governor closer to Maliki.

    Still, these were local elections only. Back in 2009, many tentative alliances that were floated during lcaol council formation never grew into something enduring for te subsequent parliamentary elections. It is that stage of national electons, scheduled for 2014, that now will take centre stage in Irqi politics.
