KDP delegation begins government formation talks with other political parties
The KDP's primary objective is to reach a common understanding to expedite the parliamentary proceedings and the formation of the new government cabinet.
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A special delegation from the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) has initiated discussions with various political parties regarding the formation of the new Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
Since the end of last week, the KDP delegation, specifically formed to address parliamentary proceedings and the formation of the tenth cabinet, has been conducting meetings with political entities across the region.
Thus far, the delegation has met with both the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) and the Kurdistan Justice Group (KJG).
The KDP's primary objective is to reach a common understanding to expedite the parliamentary proceedings and the formation of the new government cabinet.
The Kurdistan Islamic Union has previously announced its decision to remain in opposition rather than participate in the government. Similarly, the Kurdistan Justice Group has, to date, decided not to enter the Kurdistan Parliament.
These discussions follow the recent Kurdistan Parliament elections held in Oct. 2024.
The formation of a new government requires cooperation and agreement among various political parties in the Kurdistan Region.
The KDP, as the party that historically has led government formation efforts, is seeking to build consensus among political parties to ensure a stable administration.
The decisions of parties like the KIU to remain in opposition and the KJG's current stance on parliamentary participation present unique challenges to the government formation process.
