i politician who is the head of Iraqi Front for National Dialogue, the fifth largest political list in Iraq's parliament. Since 21 December 2010, he has been one of the three deputy prime ministers of Iraq.

The Iraqi Front for National Dialogue is an Iraqi political list that was formed to contest the December 2005 elections. The Front alleges it is not sectarian. "The majority of the National Dialogue Council insists that the list is a national list that includes Iraqis from Al-Basrah to Al-Sulaymaniyyah," Mr. al-Mutlaq told Al-Arabiyah television.

The Front platform calls an end to the presence of foreign troops and to rebuild government institutions. It also plans to focus on Iraq's economic and security problems. Its main components are the Iraqi National Front, the National Front for a Free and United Iraq and the Iraqi Christian Democratic Party of Minas.

The Front performed relatively well in the December 2005 election, winning 11 seats, but complained of widespread electoral fraud and called for a re-run of the poll. Western observers and the United Nations said the poll was largely free and fair.

According to BBC World News, Dr. Mutlaq wants all sects and ethnic groups to set aside their differences. Mr. Mutlaq told the PBS NewsHour last year that “Nobody would accept to see that Iraq is not united – that Iraq is going to be disintegrated and to see that the future of Iraq is going to be that way.
