Iraq Election Campaign Begins, Official campaigning for Iraq’s March 7 general election started on Friday in a tense atmosphere overshadowed by angry demands from provincial leaders that workers linked to Saddam Hussein be fired.
An integrity and accountability committee announced late Thursday that 28 of 177 candidates banned from the vote for alleged Baathist links would be allowed to stand after all, a small proportion of more than 500 originally blacklisted.
Political party activists pasted up posters across Baghdad, adding to those that had been placed illegally at prominent billboard sites across the capital in recent weeks in an attempt to steal a march on election rivals.
The run-up to the campaign has for weeks been dominated by the legacy of executed dictator Saddam and his Sunni Arab former elite which continues to loom large, almost seven years after he was ousted in a US-led invasion.
