Five Iraqi election officials fired, face trial for corruption

Iraq will put on trial five election officials in connection with fraud, including vote buying, during the country’s May legislative elections.
The election was won by populist Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr’s joint list with communists, as long-time political figures were pushed out by voters seeking change in a country mired in conflict and corruption.
