The Iraqi National Movement (INM) (Arabic: الحركة الوطنية العراقية al-Haraka al-Wataniya al-Iraqiyya), more commonly known as the al-Iraqiya List is an Iraqi political coalition formed to contest the Iraqi parliamentary election, 2010 by Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi's Renewal List, the Iraqi National List led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and the Iraqi National Dialogue Front led by Saleh al-Mutlaq. The party includes both Shi'a leaders (like Allawi) and Sunni leaders (like al-Mutlaq and al-Hashimi) and claims to be secular and non-sectarian.[1]

In February, after appeals against a ban on Iraqi National Dialogue Front leader Saleh al-Mutlaq were rejected, the Iraqi National Dialogue Front decided to boycott the elections in protest of the decision and urged other parties to boycott as well.[2] Later, on 25 February al-Mutlaq announced that his party will take part in the upcoming general election and urged his followers to turn out en masse to avoid fraud.[3]

With 2,849,612 votes (24.7%) and 91 seats the Iraqiya List became the biggest list in the elections, winning two seats more than Nouri al-Maliki's State of Law Coalition, which won 89 seats and 2,792,083 votes (24.2%).[4]
