According to them, Moqtada al-Sadr, who came in first in the Iraqi elections, will meet with cleric al-Sistani and reveal the four names tapped for the post. "One of the nominees is a senior military commander, and the three other nominees don’t include Abadi," the sources noted. Sadr came in the lead in Iraq legislative elections held last May 12th. The elections saw massive fraud and low turnout. Shia forces have been seeking to consolidate grip on the violence-shattered nation through this election.
