Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, United Iraqi Alliance list leader and the head of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, renewed his call to establish central and southern (federal) regions in order to create balance in Iraq. The majority of the central and southern residents are Shia, and some Shia leaders are pushing for federalism. He called for corruption to be eliminated and said it was the government's biggest challenge.
