An informed source reported on Saturday that Federal Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani will visit Erbil next Monday.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that Al-Sudani will hold a meeting with Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and a number of regional government officials.
The source added that Al-Sudani will head the following day (Tuesday) to the city of Duhok, where he will participate in a special event for the MEPs conference at the American University of Kurdistan in Duhok.
This is the first visit by a senior federal official and the first by a winner in the recent elections to the region.
Preliminary results announced by the Independent High Electoral Commission showed that al-Sudani and nine members of his government won, while four other ministers lost despite receiving thousands of votes.
The Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq announced on Wednesday evening that the “Reconstruction and Development” alliance, led by Al-Sudani, had made significant progress in the preliminary results, achieving 1,317,346 votes in 12 out of 18 governorates. The Progress Party, headed by former Speaker of Parliament Mohammed Al-Halbousi, came in second, and the State of Law Coalition, led by former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, came in third.
According to election monitoring organizations, Shiite lists obtained 187 seats out of the total number of seats, including some seats within Sunni lists.
The tables also showed that Sunni lists won 77 seats, while Kurdish lists won 56 seats, and Yazidi candidates won one seat.
