Iyad Allawi, the leader of Iraq's cross-sectarian Iraqiya coalition, has said that power sharing in his country is a myth.<br /><br />Allawi, whose bloc won the most seats in Iraq's election last year, was appointed to head a new statutory body intended to promote inclusivness, but turned the position down.<br /><br />He argued the post failed to comply with a power-sharing deal that had been agreed following tortuous negotiations in the wake of the elections.<br /><br />A government was eventually formed in December, following the deal, a full nine months after the election had taken place.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh asked him why he withdrew from the post as head of the national security council.
