ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — President Masoud Barzani on Wednesday received prominent Iraqi political figure Khamis Al-Khanjar in the Pirmam district of Erbil, where the two discussed the broader political situation in Iraq and the challenges facing the country’s political process.

Al-Khanjar is a leading Sunni political figure who previously headed the Sunni Sovereignty (Al-Siyada) alliance. On Nov. 25, he transferred the leadership of the alliance to his son, Sheikh Muhammad Sarmad Al-Khanjar, after assuming the leadership of a newly established Sunni alliance.
In a statement at the time, the alliance’s media office said Khamis Al-Khanjar had “entrusted Sheikh Sarmad Al-Khanjar with the leadership of the Sovereignty alliance within the National Political Council.”
The meeting in Erbil comes as Iraqi political leaders continue consultations aimed at strengthening coordination and advancing the political process in the country.
