Allawi Forms Rival Coalition Against Shiite Alliance

Qasim Davud, Iraqi National Security Adviser and a member of the Allawi List, said that the formation of a national democratic coalition will promote the democratic process in the country.

When asked about the partners of the new coalition, Davud replied that details will be announced later.

Speaking at the joint press briefing with Davud, Allawi signaled that the list will have no connection with the dominant United Arab Alliance or the Kurdish.

He indicated that they would be working with some of the smaller parties that won seats in the elections.
