The Iraqi Transitional Government was the government of Iraq from May 3rd, 2005, when it replaced the Iraqi Interim Government, until May 20th, 2006, when it was replaced by the first permanent government.
On April 28 it was approved by the transitional Iraqi National Assembly, which had been elected in January 2005.

The election
:"Main article: Iraqi legislative election, January 2005"Elections for Iraq's National Assembly occurred on January 30. The main coalitions that won seats in these elections were the Shiite-led Islamist United Iraqi Alliance and the Kurdish-led secular Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan. Most Sunni Arab Iraqis boycotted this election.
The UIA and DPAK formed a coalition government while the Shi'ite secular coalition of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi went into opposition.
Organization
Executive
Although the President is the chief of military and head of state, the Prime Minister is the head of government who exercises most executive powers. The President and both deputies (collective the "Presidency Council of Iraq") are elected by the Assembly with a two-thirds majority. They then propose the Prime Minister from the largest party, who must also be approved with a two thirds majority; the Prime Minister then proposes the Council of Ministers who must be approved with a two-thirds majority.
The current Council of Ministers was sworn in on May 3 but several key posts were left vacant. Six new ministers were approved to fill vacant positions on 8 May, one of whom rejected his position saying he had not been consulted.
