Increasing fears related to whipping up sectarian strife after Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki asked for the replacement of two senior Sunni politicians when U.S. troops withdraw from Iraq.
The dispute was the worst political crises in the past year.
In the northwest of Baghdad, Kadhimiya district, two car bombs killed at least 15 people and wounded 32 others, sources said.
Two bombs, one hidden in a parked motorcycle and the other placed at the curb, killing at least 10 people and wounded 37 others in the district of Sadr in Baghdad's impoverished northeast, they said.
"There is a group of day laborers gathered, waiting to be hired to work. Someone had brought a small bike and parked nearby. A few minutes later exploded, killing several people, injured several others and set fire to several cars," said a police officer who declined to be named.
A Reuters reporter said there were blood stains in the vicinity of a motorcycle bomb attack and asphalt, the roads are torn by the explosion. Building tools and shoes scattered around the scene.
Police said they found and defused two other bombs.
Iraq is still plagued by deadly sectarian uprising nearly nine years after the invasion of US-led foreign troops ousted President Saddam Hussein.
Sadr City is a stronghold of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, the Mehdi militia he fought U.S. and Iraqi troops. He is now a key ally of Prime Minister Maliki.
Prime Minister angry at their rivals and then he asked parliament to replace the Sunni vice Saleh al-Mutlaq and seek an arrest warrant for Iraq's Sunni Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges he ordered the kamikaze squads.
On Tuesday, the group backed Iraqiya Sunni boycott parliament and cabinet, accusing Maliki's bloc running the self-government in which power-sharing coalition should be able to defuse sectarian tensions.
A series of bombings that killed 72 people mainly in Shiite areas of Baghdad a few days after the political crisis began to cause concern over the return of sectarian strife in Iraq, which is still teetering on the brink of civil war in 2006-2007.
The inclusion of Iraqiya in the governing coalition is widely considered essential to prevent the return to the unbridled sectarian violence after the US-led invasion in 2003. Thousands were killed in violent acts.
Many Sunnis complain have been sidelined in the political process since Saddam was overthrown and the majority Shiites dominate the government.
