Naim Rahim Yacoubi

From the news reports:

Mr. Yacoubi - a fishmonger who, after voting, took tea from his house to electoral workers at the school. ...

Two days before the vote, the portly Mr. Yacoubi, a father of nine, drove with his friend Mr. Jasim to Khadimiya, a Shiite neighborhood, to have a new robe made for the occasion, Mr. Jasim said. ...

On Sunday, he got up at dawn. "He was very proud, and he put perfume on himself and gave out pastries and tea," Mr. Jasim said.
