Iraqis nominate an exile for the PM position. Iraqi exiles are known for the Western leanings and pro-American positions. Looks like another blow to the liberals who want to believe Iraq is falling to extremists.

Iraq poll winners 'nominate PM'
Ibrahim Jaafari
Mr Jaafari was nominated by the Shia alliance as Iraq's next premier
The Shia Muslim coalition that won Iraq's election has chosen Ibrahim Jaafari as its prime ministerial candidate, sources have said.

Mr Jaafari leads the Daawa party, one of two leading religious parties in the bloc that won nearly half the vote.

The United Iraqi Alliance (UIA) lacks a parliamentary majority and will need to form a coalition government.

Before the result can be confirmed, electoral officials are examining a number of complaints into the poll.

Moves to form a new government are already under way, though it may be several weeks before an administration is decided.

Mr Jaafari, one of two current interim vice-presidents, was named one of Iraq's most influential personalities in an opinion poll last year.

The father-of-five was among the first Iraqis to return from exile after the fall of Saddam Hussein in April 2003.
