So how does the Iraq election work without the Sunnis involved, anyway? Iraq's Top Sunni Party Withdraws from Jan Vote Mon Dec 27, 2004 05:47 AM ET Printer Friendly \| Email Article \| Reprints \| RSS Top News Corpses Piled on Asian Coasts After Tsunami Kills 23,200 Jazeera TV: Bin Laden Tape Urges Iraq Polls Boycott Yushchenko Apparent Winner in Ukraine; PM Won't Quit BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's top Sunni Muslim party is withdrawing from Jan. 30 elections, saying persistent violence would keep people from voting in the Sunni north and west. "We are withdrawing," Mohsen Abdel Hamid, head of the Iraqi Islamic Party, told a news conference on Monday. "We are not calling for a boycott but we said we would take part only if certain conditions had been met and they have not." His party had threatened to boycott the election unless it was postponed by up to six months to ensure that voters across the country would be able to vote. Violence in Sunni areas has raised fears that voters there will be too intimidated to cast their ballots. The Iraqi Islamic Party had fielded a list of 275 candidates for the Jan 30. vote, which will choose a National Assembly to draft a constitution and appoint a government. It was not clear if the party would appear on ballot papers. reuters.com
