The Ba'ath Party won 165 of the 250 seats. Of the 85 remaining seats, 55 were independents, and 30 were appointed by the government to represent the northern Kurdish areas of Sulaymaniyah, Erbil and Dohuk, where no elections took place, and which had not been under Iraqi government control since the Gulf War.[2]

gollark: This "gematria" thing reminds me of that excellent excessively pun-heavy bible fanfiction I read but not funny.
