The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) recently urged all political factions to reconvene the regional legislature immediately in an effort to break the political deadlock over the formation of a new government cabinet. Meanwhile, the region continues to face prolonged delays in establishing the tenth Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) administration.
In an official statement, the KDP Politburo addressed the current governance stalemate, emphasizing that the party has been working continuously since the conclusion of the sixth parliamentary elections to reactivate the region’s constitutional institutions in accordance with the law.
The statement noted that party leader Masoud Barzani personally directed several political initiatives aimed at fostering mutual understanding and building broad consensus among political forces.
Negotiating teams proposed various governance scenarios to other political parties and held numerous bilateral meetings. In addition, they formed special committees, exchanged formal messages, and visited different political headquarters. Despite these intensive efforts, the KDP said that rival factions failed to respond positively to compromise proposals, preventing any significant political breakthrough.
Consequently, the party warned about the region’s challenging domestic and regional circumstances, stressing that all political actors bear a significant national responsibility at this critical juncture. According to the statement, the ongoing stalemate threatens the achievements of the Kurdistan Region and serves the interests of no political party.
The KDP also called for an end to public disputes through the media, urging political factions to shift their discussions from television screens to the parliament chamber. The party invited all elected parties, regardless of their number of seats, to participate in parliamentary sessions.
Lawmakers must conduct a highly productive dialogue inside the main chamber. The party urges all forces to respect the final decisions of the parliament. Ultimately, the legislative building must remain the primary venue for resolving regional differences.
