Sistani will probably back one candidate

The secular vote will probably be split between many parties. If Sistani backs a specific candidate then religious Shiites will vote that candidate. Sistani will then be the power behind the throne.

So far, Sistani has been relatively ethical. Let's hope he stays that way.
