Negotiations to choose a new government are likely to drag on for weeks, if not months. It took political rivals nine months to form the last government, in 2010. Even then, MPs failed for years to agree on the candidates for the ministers of defence and interior. Maliki retains the role of acting interior minister to this day.

Under Iraq's constitution, the president must ask the new parliament to convene 15 days after results are ratified. Iraq's current president, Jalal Talabani, suffered a stroke in late 2012 and has largely withdrawn from public life, but is not expected to delay the government formation process. His is a largely ceremonial role.

Once parliament convenes, MPs then must choose not only a new prime minister but also a president and speaker of parliament.
