The key estimates from the Baghdad region, which could swing the results of Sunday&#8217;s poll, were not yet available but local officials said Maliki was so far leading in the nine of Iraq&#8217;s 18 provinces.</span></p>
<p>Millions voted, braving rocket, mortar and bomb attacks that killed 38 people to cast their ballots in the second parliamentary election since US-led forces invasion of Iraq in 2003.</p>
<p>Official final results were not due until the end of March, and after that it will likely take months of horsetrading before a new government is formed as no political bloc is set to emerge dominant from the vote.<br />
But early indications were looking good for Maliki.<br />
He was appointed prime minister in 2005 as a compromise candidate and his administration, with considerable help from the US military, radically reduced the sectarian strife that killed tens of thousands.</p>
<p>His main challenger, according to the initial estimates, is Allawi, whose Iraqiya has campaigned on a nationalist ticket.<br />
The other leading list is the Iraqi National Alliance, which is dominated by two parties, the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council and the movement loyal to Sayyed Moqtada al-Sadr.<br />
It also includes ex-deputy prime minister Ahmed Chalabi.<br />
Turnout across the country was estimated by election commission officials at over 60 percent, which showed that most Iraqis were undeterred by an Al-Qaeda threat to kill people who dared to vote.<br />
Turnout was strongest, at more than 70 percent, in Arbil in the autonomous northern Kurdish region, and in the province of Kirkuk,.</p>
