Moreover, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and President Nechirvan Barzani were appointed as vice-presidents of the KDP.

The 14th Congress of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) began in Duhok on Thursday (November 3, 2022) after it was previously delayed due to the fight against ISIS and the Iraqi elections.

The party’s 13th Congress was held in December 2010 in Erbil, capital of Kurdistan.

The KDP was founded on August 16, 1946, by the late Mustafa Barzani – the father of the party's current leader, Masoud Barzani – in the Iranian Kurdistan (Rojhalat) city of Mahabad.
