Al-Sadiqoun (literally the speakers of the truth in Arabic) is a political wing of the Shia
Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (
AAH;
Arabic: عصائب أهل الحق
‘Aṣayib Ahl al-Haq, "League of the Righteous"), a Shia anti-American group with alleged
Iranian patronage. Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq leader
Qais Khazali declared the intention of his group of taking part in the
2014 Iraqi Parliamentary elections as a political bloc under the name of Al-Sadiqoun Bloc. Adnan Fihan Moussa Cheri was named leader of the bloc. Al-Sadiqoun Bloc offered its candidates under electoral listing #218. However an electoral meeting of estimated 10,000 supporters of Al-Sadiqoun was marred by violence as a series of bombs exploded at the campaign rally held at the Industrial Stadium in eastern Baghdad killing at least 37 people and wounding scores of others, according to Iraqi police. The Shia group organizers had planned to announce at the rally the names of its candidates for the parliamentary election. The Al-Sadiqoun Bloc ended up winning just one seat out of the total 328 seats in the
Council of Representatives for 2014, with its successful candidate elected from the
Baghdad Governorate. == Election results ==
