BAGHDAD: A United Nations official has said that Iraq`s recent elections were credible and there was no justification for a rerun of the vote that gave a strong lead to the Shiite religious bloc dominating the current government. 

The United Nations official, Craig Jenness, said at a news conference organised by the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq that the UN-led international election assistance team found the elections to be credible and transparent.
