The latest on Iraq's national elections (all times local):11:45 p.m.Iraq's national elections commission says Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi has taken the largest share of votes in the province that includes the formerly Islamic State-held city of Mosul. It is the only province so far to give a plurality of votes to al-Abadi, who has performed poorly in this year's parliamentary elections. Nineveh is Iraq's second largest province after Baghdad, which went to a list organized by the influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Al-Sadr said in Tweet he was open to forming a coalition with al-Abadi to form a new government for Iraq. The elections commission has announced results from 16 of Iraq's 19 provinces.
