People's Union (Iraq)The Ittihad Al Shaab or Program of People's Unity is the communist party list in the 2005 Iraqi election. It is made up of the Iraqi Communist Party and independent candidate Hikmat Dawud Hakim. Before the election it attempted to form a wider coalition among secularist groups, but this effort failed. It is led by Hamid Majid Mousa, who served on the Governing Council and as minister of culture on the interim government. The party, while small, ran one of the more organized campaigns in the election, and its list of 257 candidates was the longest of any party. In the 2004 National Assembly election, the People's Union received just under 70,000 votes, or about 0.8% of ballots cast, earning them two seats in the transitional Iraqi National Assembly.
