Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has vowed to contest the results of parliamentary elections that saw former PM Iyad Allawi win by only two seats. Speaking on national TV, Mr Maliki said he would challenge the count through what he described as a legal process. Mr Allawi's secular Iraqiya bloc won 91 of parliament's 325 seats. Mr Maliki's State of Law won 89 seats, followed by the Iraqi National Alliance on 70. Earlier, UN envoy to Iraq Ad Melkert said the election had been credible. He also called on all parties to accept the outcome. Following the announcement of the final results by Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission, Mr Allawi promised to work with all sides, whether they won or did not win in the election, to form the next government.
