This article is featured in Orient III/2023.
This study aims to explain the intrasectarian rivalries in the post-2003 Iraq in terms of their bases of activity and support. Local community-based al-Sadr Tendency emphasised locality and party affiliation in the election campaign but modifies its general policy to expand its scope of influence to unpenetrated regions. Post-2003 ruling elite circles with little local supportive base implemented the same strategy to all constituency types, placing more importance on distributing resources.
