ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) are to meet in Sulaimani to discuss the formation of the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) tenth cabinet among other pressing matters.

Dilshad Shahab, the member of the KDP's negotiating committee, told Kurdistan24, "On Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024, the KDP negotiating delegation will visit their brothers in the PUK in Sulaimani for a series of ongoing meetings with Kurdistan's political parties to discuss the formation of the KRG's tenth cabinet and legal procedures after the official announcement of the results of the sixth parliamentary election."

The meeting brings together the KDP delegation, consisting of Hoshyar Zebari, Pshtiwan Sadiq, Dilshad Shahab, and Omed Sabah, with the PUK delegation, comprised of Qubad Talabani, Rewas Fayaq, Rizgari Haji Hama, Salar Sarhed, and Samir Hawrami.

The meeting comes in the aftermath of the Kurdistan Region's sixth parliamentary elections, marking a crucial phase in the formation of the new government.

Traditionally, the KDP and PUK have been the region's two main political parties, playing a pivotal role in forming coalition governments.

Their cooperation is essential for political stability in the Kurdistan Region, particularly given their traditional strongholds in Erbil and Sulaimani respectively.

These negotiations will significantly shape the political scenery and governance of the Kurdistan Region over the next four years.
