Will the balance of power in the Kurdistan region change after the Iraqi elections?

As the Iraqi parliamentary elections approach, on May 12, 2018, parties and political parties in the Kurdistan region of Iraq began trying to win people and extend influence, amid expectations that the Iraqi elections would be too weak for the ruling parties Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), after they continued to sing the rule, since 1991 in the Kurdish region. 
Journalist writer Shawan Fares from Sulaymaniyah told Al-Quds Al-Arabi that "the upcoming Iraqi elections will be fateful in the Kurdistan region and will show the real weight of the two ruling parties after they succeeded in the past years, despite accusations of falsifying the election results and buying the debts. , Lost the disputed areas, and did not have enough money to convince their members and supporters to continue supporting them in the elections.
He stressed that «there is popular outrage from the policies of the two ruling parties, especially after the salary crisis and the loss of the city of Kirkuk, which is considered by the Kurds (Kurdistan), and therefore the citizen seeks an opportunity to punish the perpetrators of these crises». 
"In these elections, there are new forces competing to win the masses among them (the alliance of justice and democracy) for the former leader of the Patriotic Union Barham Saleh, and the new generation movement, the businessman Chaswar Abdul Wahid. 
According to the source, «there is also an American alarm of the way the region is managed by the two ruling parties, and therefore there may be strong international control to prevent fraud operations so as to show the real weight to them in order to end the monopoly in the government or at least participate with the existing Kurdish opposition».
But journalist Hymen Khoshnao, played down the impact of the upcoming elections on the influence of the Democratic Union. He explained to Al-Quds Al-Arabi that "the elections can not remove the two ruling parties from power and influence. These are the two parties, even if they won one seat in the elections. They have control of the sources of income, power and control of institutions. More importantly, they have an armed force, Peshmerga own ». 
He added: «We have seen how the movement of change has gained the presidency of the Parliament of the region, but these things did not cause the decline of the influence of the two ruling parties only slightly, and during the last period failed model of the opposition in the region, the opposition parties entered power and was carrying a double letter eventually caused deterioration The political situation in the region and the creation of problems, which means that multi-party was not positive for the fledgling Kurdish experience, and the citizen may return to the two ruling parties in the end.
According to the source «there are Iraqi parties in Baghdad are trying to undermine the Kurdistan Democratic Party because of the adoption of the draft referendum, by supporting the opposition parties, and distort the government of the Territory, and incite public opinion against the government». 
For this purpose, the source continued «spread rumors that the ruling parties in the region, will lose many seats in the disputed areas and therefore these statements fall within the political propaganda to undermine the parties that decided not to succumb to Baghdad and embark on independence». 
In contrast to the Iraqi scene, there are no calls in the Kurdish region to boycott and not participate in the elections, because changing the balance of Kurdish political forces, will determine the way of agreement between the region and the center on the files of oil and salaries, which directly touches the lives of citizens, and this is a factor of interest and interaction with the elections Coming.

Economic steps between the center and the region?

09/4/2018 12:00 am  Dr.. In the name of Brahimi  must be benefiting from the increase in demand in moving the productive sectors, not only the commercial sector, which is the most active sector in the Iraqi economy because of the high profits achieved from it, and what promotes the management of foreign trade efficiently is the unification of taxes between the center and the region has been announced This move a few days ago as the central bank led these negotiations successfully calculated for him.  An important step to bridge the relationship between the center and the Kurdistan region, which has been handing over the salaries of the staff of the region, including the salaries of the Peshmerga, preceded by the announcement of the handover of the administration of regional airports to the federal authority, and while these are now analyzed essential in terms of significance or after the future, Near the elections I find it important to note the economic dimensions that will result from them. This procedure comes within the framework of what is known as horizontal economic management, since the division of powers in all federal countries faces the risk of conflicting powers which sometimes lead to administrative complexity that has negative effects and effects that weaken the advantages of the federal system. In fact, this is problematic in the administration. Economic situation was clear in the Iraqi experience, but the recent steps indicate that everyone is convinced that cooperation can lead to better results   for all. There is no dispute over the importance of the distribution of salaries and wages in terms of social needs to meet the basic needs of individuals as well as being a right in return for their services, but this step at the same time will have important results at the level of demand or private spending as the failure to receive families salaries and wages for the past period reflected It is clear on the level of living for the citizen in Kurdistan, which has clearly declined, which increased the poverty rates, and therefore the citizen's approach to cover his needs, which decreased previously will result in the result of moving production in all areas. The increase in the demand for moving the productive sectors, not just the commercial sector, which is the most active sector in the Iraqi economy due to the high profits achieved, should be benefited from the increase in demand, and the efficient management of foreign trade is the consolidation of taxes between the center and the region. A few days ago, as the central bank led these negotiations successfully calculated for him and if implemented will have a positive impact on the construction of a wall as a pyramid according to the interest of the Iraqi economy and will provide competitive opportunities are built according to the nature of local products and visions of the government for the future horizon, It remained subject to the treatment of financial and administrative corruption suffered by the border crossing points.
