In short the final results are very close to the interim results despite the cynicism of many commentators. The Goran (Change) Party with 24% of the vote and KDP with 38% of the vote are the clear winners, with the PUK at 18% suffering a severe set back and with the two Islamic parties with 17% between them just nudging ahead of last time.
Post election disturbances have been minor and in testament to Kurdish political maturity, a spokes person for the PUK said that they would accept the result and spend the next four years rebuilding the party.
Now we just need to see the shape of the coalition government which is predicted to be a KDP/PUK alliance (as before) but with a very different distribution of ministerial posts.
