The Iraqi Accord Front or Iraqi Accordance Front ( Arabic : جبهة التوافق العراقية Jabhet Al-Tawafuq Al-'Iraqiyah ) also known as Tawafuq is an Iraqi Sunni political coalition created on October 26, 2005 by the Iraqi Islamic Party to contest the December 2005 general election . As a large section of Iraq's Sunnis are composed by the populous Kurds , situated in northern Iraq and locally autonomous, the party's members are mostly Arab , and as such, its political efforts have largely been focused on protecting this community's interests as opposed to Iraq's non-Sunni population. In the 2005 election, its platform called for ending the US occupation of Iraq , revision of the new Iraqi constitution, repeal of the de-Ba'athification laws that had cost many Sunnis their government jobs and the restoration of the Iraqi Army, which was dissolved after the US overthrow of Saddam Hussein and which had a Sunni dominated officer corps. Despite this, the party has maintained that it is non-secular, even though the Ba'ath Party contained many prominent Sunnis.
