The Islamic Dawa Party, also known as the Islamic Call Party (Arabic: حزب الدعوة الإسلامية, romanizedḤizb ad-Daʿwa al-Islāmiyya), is a Shia Islamist political party in Iraq. Dawa and the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council are two of the main parties in the religious-Shiite United Iraqi Alliance, which won a plurality of seats in both the provisional January 2005 Iraqi election and the longer-term December 2005 election. The party is led by Haider al-Abadi, who was the Prime Minister of Iraq from 8 September 2014 to 25 October 2018. The party backed the Iranian Revolution and also Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during the Iran–Iraq War and the group still receives financial support from Tehran despite ideological differences with the Islamic Republic.[9] As of 2019, after two decades of political prominence and success, it is suffering from internal divisions and is in danger of losing its "political relevance".[10]
