The National Reform Trend (also known as the National Reform Movement or as Islah) (Arabic: تيار الإصلاح الوطني) is an Iraqi political party that was founded in 2008 by former Prime Minister of Iraq, Ibrahim al-Jaafari.[1] It is a Shiite-Islamic-based party.

Jaafari was the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party when he was elected Prime Minister. Following the Iraqi legislative election, December 2005, his reelection as Prime Minister was blocked by Kurdish and Sunni Arab coalition partners. Nouri al-Maliki, also from the Islamic Dawa Party, was elected as a compromise candidate in his place, and Maliki replaced Jaafari as party secretary general in May 2007.[2]

The party won several seats in the Iraqi governorate elections, 2009 becoming the fourth largest Shi'a faction. For the Iraqi parliamentary elections, 2010 they joined up with other Shi'a religious parties to form the National Iraqi Alliance, Jaafari was placed prominently as number one on their list for Baghdad and was made chairman of the alliance. They however only managed to win one seat and that was the seat of Jaafari himself, who got over 100,000 votes.
