    The Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is back in from with his State of Law coalition in the election count.

    With the parliamentary election count still undecided, the coalition has around 11,000 more votes than the Iraqiya party of former prime minister Iyad Allawi.

    Around 95 percent of the votes have been counted by members of the Iraqi electoral committee.

    Earlier, the committee had announced that Iraqiya was ahead with 92 percent of the votes counted.

    Then Prime Minister al-Maliki then demanded a recount.

    The preliminary result of the 7th March election will be announced on Friday.
