The State of Law Coalition (Arabic: إئتلاف دولة القانون I'tilāf Dawlat al-Qānūn), also known as Rule of Law Coalition, is an Iraqi political coalition formed for the 2009 Iraqi governorate elections by the Prime Minister of Iraq at the time, Nouri al-Maliki, of the Islamic Dawa Party.
The name was an emphasis on the improved security situation which Maliki's government had achieved through the Battle of Basra and other operations of the Iraqi Security Forces.
Due to disagreements with the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq and the Sadrists, the Dawa Party decided not to join the Iraqi National Alliance for the 2010 Iraqi parliamentary election, but run in their own coalition: the State of Law Coalition.
In the 2009 Iraqi governorate elections, the State of Law Coalition was composed of several political blocs:[9]
The State of Law Coalition came out as the largest list receiving 19.1% of the vote and 126 out of 440 seats.[10][11][12]
