Iraq-PM-votes

A handout picture released by Iraq’s Prime Minister’s Media Office on May 12, 2018 shows PM Haider al-Abadi being inspected by a member of the federal police upon arriving at a poll station in the capital Baghdad’s Karrada district, as the country votes in the first parliamentary election since declaring victory over the Islamic State (IS) group. Polling stations opened at 7:00 am for the roughly 24.5 million registered voters to cast their ballots across the conflict-scarred nation.
