An Iraqi electoral commission has said that no fraud was found during a partial recount of votes from the country's parliamentary elections two months ago. al-Maliki had alleged fraud after the coalition his main political opponent, Iyad Allawi , took a two-seat lead in parliament. The prime minister wanted recounts for all five provinces in Iraq, although only one - for Baghdad and the surrounding vicinity - was accepted. The Baghdad province accounts for around a fifth of the 325 overall seats. The recount, supervised by observers with the European Union and the United Nations, was conducted in the capital's Green Zone.
