In the 2005 Iraqi elections, NICE received just under 70,000 votes, about 0.8% of those cast, earning them three seats in the transitional National Assembly of Iraq.

2005 Permanent elections

NICE did not contest the elections for the regular assembly later in 2005.[1] Many of Sadr's supporters were part of the United Iraqi Alliance list.[2]
