TheFatah Alliance (Arabic:ائتلاف الفتح,romanized: iʾtilāf al-fatḥ), also sometimes translated as theConquest Alliance, is a political coalition inIraq formed to contest the2018 general election. The main components are groups involved in thePopular Mobilization Forces which is mainly a state-sponsored umbrella organization made up of Iraqi Shiite Muslims who fought from 2014 to 2017 alongside theIraqi Army to defeatISIL. It is led byHadi Al-Amiri, the leader of theBadr Organization.[2][3][4][5]
The Fatah Alliance included theBadr Organization, theAl-Sadiqoun Bloc (the political wing ofAsa'ib Ahl al-Haq, AAH),Kata'ib Hezbollah andKata'ib al-Imam Ali, all key components of the Hashd. The Fatah Alliance agreed to run jointly with al-Abadi'sNasr al-Iraq (Victory of Iraq) list, but the agreement fell apart after only 24 hours, reportedly over Abadi's conditions.[6][7] The Badr Organisation, headed byHadi Al-Amiri, was previously part of the rulingState of Law Coalition and announced their withdrawal from the Alliance in December 2017,[3][2] and won 22 seats.
Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq split from theSadrist Movement in 2004.[8] It has also been one of the main Iraqi armed groups active in theSyrian Civil War.[9][10] They have received funding and training from Iran'sQuds Force[11][12] and, like many Sadrists, are reported to have religious allegiance to the IranianGrand AyatollahKazem al-Haeri.[13] AAH formed a political wing, called theAl-Sadiqoun Bloc, to contest the2014 Iraqi parliamentary election, winning one seat.
They were expected to win 37 seats in the parliament in2018 elections, according to one opinion poll.[14]
