Iraq Election Results: PM's Coalition Leads, No Majority
Iraq's recent parliamentary elections ended without any party winning a majority.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani's coalition got the most seats, but they'll need to work with other parties to form a government.
A caretaker government will run the country until then.
Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani's coalition won 46 seats, leading the 329-member parliament
No single bloc secured an outright majority, necessitating coalition formation
The Coordination Framework, a Shiite alliance, formed the largest parliamentary bloc
The Iraqi Federal Supreme Court ruled for a caretaker government until a new parliament is formed
The country's president will remain in office until the new parliament is formed
