The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) bloc announced on Wednesday that it will return to the Iraqi Parliament in Baghdad after reaching what it described as a “positive understanding” among political parties.
According to the bloc’s statement, the decision came after recent political discussions and negotiations surrounding the formation of Iraq’s next federal government. The statement highlighted the recent visit of the designated prime minister as an important step in advancing dialogue between political forces.
The KDP said the new atmosphere of understanding encouraged the bloc to resume participation in parliamentary sessions. It also stressed the importance of political cooperation during the current stage of government formation.
In addition, the statement emphasized the need to strengthen coordination among Iraqi political parties to address national challenges and move the political process forward. The bloc noted that constructive dialogue remains essential for resolving disputes and maintaining stability.
The announcement comes amid ongoing efforts to form a new federal cabinet in Baghdad following weeks of negotiations among Iraq’s major political factions. Political leaders continue discussions aimed at building a government based on partnership and consensus.
The KDP previously suspended its participation in some parliamentary activities over disagreements related to constitutional rights, political representation, and unresolved issues between Erbil and Baghdad.
Observers view the bloc’s return as a potentially important development in Iraq’s political landscape. The move could help ease tensions and support broader negotiations over government formation and federal-regional relations.
The statement did not provide additional details regarding future parliamentary priorities. However, it reaffirmed the bloc’s commitment to political dialogue and constitutional principles.
