The statement pointed out that the complications which followed the announcement of the results of the October 2021 legislative elections led the country to “this suffocating blockage.”

“All Iraqi leaders must rise to the level of responsibility to save the country from imminent existential dangers,” read the KDP statement.

The KDP called on all parties to “a constructive dialogue, to take the necessary steps to reform the situation by the constitutional contexts and by the outcomes of the constructive dialogue.”
