National Rafidain List

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Rafidain List or Al Rafidain National List (or Mesopotamia List) is one of the coalitions of Iraqi political parties that ran in the 2005 Iraqi election. It consists of only one party: the Assyrian Democratic Movement. It is a coalition of Assyrians and is headed by Yunadam Kanna, a former Governing Council member. The party ran a list of 28 candidates. Much of its support was expected to come from the international voters, a large number of whom are Christian. The preliminary count of the overseas ballots gave the list 18,538 votes. This list received 36,255 total votes, or 0.43%, thus receiving one seat, which went to Yunadam Kanna.
