Pro-Iran candidates are the biggest losers in Iraq's election

Employees of the Independent High Electoral Commission close a polling station at the end of parliamentary elections, in Baghdad, Iraq, on Sunday.

In an election marred by low voter turnout, the bloc of populist Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr maintained the most seats in parliament and will set the political agenda for the next four years.
