Partial results show that a political bloc⁷ led by the Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr is in the lead. Sebastian Ashar reports. Inflicting⁸ territorial⁹ defeat on the Islamic State group does not appear to have carried an electoral bonus for Haider al-Abadi. He is currently behind two other Shia political blocs¹⁰, one headed by the leader of a militia¹¹ that played a big role in the victory over IS. But the biggest winner so far in the election is Moqtada al-Sadr. His international image until now still frozen in his days as a firebrand cleric battling US forces.

在本周末的选举中，伊拉克总理海德尔`阿巴迪落后另外两大政党。部分选举结果显示，由什叶派宗教领袖穆克塔达`萨德尔领导的政治集团处于领先地位。塞巴斯蒂安`阿沙尔报道。海德尔`阿巴迪对“伊斯兰国”占领地区的打击似乎并没有在选举中为他加分。目前他落后于其他两个什叶派政治集团，其中一个是民兵组织领袖，在对“伊斯兰国”的胜利之战中它起到了主要作用。但截至目前，选举的最大赢家还是穆克塔达`萨德尔。直到现在，他的国际形象还停留在那个煽动与美国作战的宗教领袖。从那以后，他将自己的形象由反美斗士转变成了反腐斗士。
