A source within the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) revealed that the party’s leadership will hold an important meeting next Saturday to discuss several key political issues, including withdrawal from the Iraqi government and parliament, as well as a boycott of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
The source said, “The meeting will be held in the presence of the party’s senior leadership in Erbil, and will discuss recent political developments, the relationship with the federal government, and the future of participation in the political process.”
He explained that “one of the most prominent proposals on the table for discussion is a complete withdrawal from the government and the House of Representatives, as well as a boycott of the upcoming Iraqi parliamentary elections,” as a protest against what the party describes as “the continued marginalization of the region and the decline in constitutional commitments toward it.”
The source indicated that “the options are still under discussion, and a final decision will be made during the upcoming meeting,” stressing that “the leadership believes that the current phase requires a comprehensive reassessment of the Kurdish political position in Baghdad.”
