Turnout in Iraq's parliamentary election earlier this month reached 43%, the nation's electoral commission said, a small increase from preliminary results but lower than that in the last election in 2018.
More than 9.6 million people cast their ballots in the Oct. 10 vote, the commission said.
Populist Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said his movement secured the biggest number of seats in the parliament adding that he would not challenge the results.
He led an insurgency against American forces after the war that deposed Saddam Hussein.
