KDP Vice President backs KDP list 190 in parliamentary election, reaffirms Party’s commitment to Kurdish rights
During his speech at the event, Barzani emphasized the KDP’s unwavering stance on defending Kurdistan’s territorial integrity, referencing the party’s historical refusal to relinquish Kirkuk.

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Masrour Barzani, Vice President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), held a meeting with members of KDP-affiliated syndicates in Erbil to rally support for the party's 190th list in the upcoming parliamentary election.
During his speech at the event, Barzani emphasized the KDP’s unwavering stance on defending Kurdistan’s territorial integrity, referencing the party’s historical refusal to relinquish Kirkuk. “The KDP, under the leadership of the late Mullah Mustafa Barzani, firmly opposed the separation of any part of Kurdistan, including Kirkuk,” he stated, reiterating that the party was prepared to fight for this cause.
Barzani also underscored the KDP’s long-standing dedication to serving the Kurdish people, noting that the party has never compromised on their legitimate rights. “The KDP has always prioritized the welfare of the Kurdish people, making sacrifices to ensure the nation’s interests,” he said.
Addressing the 2017 independence referendum, Barzani highlighted the KDP's leadership role in organizing the vote, which he described as a reflection of the unbreakable will of the Kurdish people. He criticized those who later distanced themselves from the referendum despite initially supporting it. “The referendum was the least we could offer to allow citizens to express their will,” he added.
Turning to the KDP’s efforts in combating ISIS, Barzani praised the party’s role in defending the Kurdistan Region against the terrorist group's brutal attacks. He emphasized that the KDP's actions were not only aimed at protecting the region but also contributing to global peace. “The KDP has always fought for stability in Kurdistan and for peace in the broader region,” he said.
Moreover, Barzani reaffirmed the KDP’s commitment to implementing projects that serve the people of Kurdistan, promising continued efforts to improve the lives of its citizens.
