Arwa Damon reports Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki\s allies made an impressive showing in the provincial elections. The story Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki\s coalition won most of the provinces in last week\s local elections, and an underdog prevailed in Anbar, the largely Sunni Arab province, election officials said Thursday. Officials unveiled the results of 90 percent of returns from Saturday\s elections. The other 10 percent -- as yet uncounted -- comprise special voters, such as security forces who voted before last week\s election, and contested ballots. The vote was viewed as a test of the popularity of al-Maliki, a Shiite who has emerged as a powerful politician.
