Iraqi polls appeals rejected

Election authorities in Iraq rejected final appeals yesterday against the results of a March parliamentary election, which will now move to the Supreme Court for certification.
Iraq is still without a government more than 11 weeks after the inconclusive March 7 poll, narrowly won by the cross-sectarian Iraqiya alliance led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.
An appeals authority within Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) rejected final complaints submitted before Monday's deadline.
