SULAIMANI — The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional
Government (KRG), Masrour Barzani, said the KRG will make all preparations for
the elections, stating "there is
no excuse” for postponing the polls.
Barzani said on Thursday (February 23) the Kurdistan
Region’s elections will be held this year and that no excuse can delay the
elections.
The statement comes after Barzani met with a US delegation
over the issue.
According to information obtained by NRT, the American
delegation gave clear warning to KRG officials that the elections cannot be
further delayed.
The Kurdistan parliamentary election was to be held in
October, 2022 but due to lack of preparation, the elections have been delayed
to an unknown time.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan (PUK) cannot agree on the laws of the election and both parties claim
the other is responsible for delaying the polls.
