SULAIMANI — Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Masoud
Barzani said on Saturday (March 18) the Kurdistan parliamentary election must
be held so that the legitimacy of the Kurdistan Region does not come under
question.
Barzani Headquarters released a statement announcing the KDP
leader hosted a luncheon with a large number of ambassadors, consular staff,
international representatives, members of global organizations and coalition
forces in Iraq and Salahaddin.
Barzani said at the gathering there are positive efforts
from the both the Kurdistan Region’s domestic side and the international
community to prepare the Region for elections.
The Kurdistan Region’s parliamentary election was supposed
to be held in October 2022 but it was delayed due to dispute between the KDP
and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
Officials in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) have
announced that the election must be held this year, this came after
international communities stressed on holding elections.
