The Diyala governorate election of 2009 was held on 31 January 2009 alongside elections for all other governorates outside Iraqi Kurdistan and Kirkuk.
Campaign
A Sunni Arab candidate from the National Reform Trend was killed near the disputed town of Mandali.[1]
Results
Immediately after the election, the Iraqi National List and the Iraqi National Dialogue Front claimed victory in Diyala.[2] The final results saw them both winning seats, but no part having an overall majority.
A month after the vote, 2000 supporters of ISCI protested at the results, saying internally displaced refugee supporters had been unable to vote, and a large number of their supporters had turned up to vote to find their names were not on the electoral roll.[3]
In March, the INDF said they would form an alliance with the State of Law Coalition and the Iraqi Islamic Party allied with the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.[4] Template:Diyala governorate election, 2009
