Governorate Council elections in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq were held on January 30, 2005, alongside the national legislative election.

Results

The province is predominantly composed of Sunnis and Kurds, with a significant Shi'ite presence. Despite making the vast majority, almost all Sunni Arabs boycotted the election, leading to the Kurdish party winning almost all of the seats.

The council voted to retain independent Sunni Arab, Duraid Mohammed Kashmula, to continue as governor. His brother, Usama Yousif Kashmula, had been appointed as governor of Nineveh Governorate in 2003 by the Coalition Provisional Authority.However, Usama was assassinated in July 2004, then Duraid succeeded him.
