Nigirvan Barzani is visiting Baghdad

That's what I'm looking for there

Nigirvan Barzani is visiting Baghdad
 

 The arrival of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Najirvan Barzani, to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, on Monday.

According to information received by Basniz, the visit of Nechirvan Barzani, who is also the deputy chairman of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, to Baghdad, comes to complete the talks that had started by a delegation from the party headed by its candidate for the post of President Fuad Hussein with Iraqi leaders during the past few days, As well as work to support and support the party candidate to take office.

 The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold a session on Monday evening to resolve the post of President of the Republic and is expected to be the selection of a candidate for the post on Tuesday.

Despite the presence of a number of Kurdish and other candidates for the post belonging to political parties or independent, but the main competition is limited between the candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan Barham Saleh and the candidate of the Democratic Party of Kurdistan Fuad Hussein.

 The rivalry between the two is expected to be narrowed by excluding the less fortunate candidates.

Under an unofficial tradition of power-sharing in Iraq, the prime minister must be a Shiite, while the president is a Kurd. The speaker of parliament must be Sunni with two deputies, one a Shiite and the other Kurdi.

Although the position was previously occupied by the Kurdistan National Union, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) presented a candidate. The Democrat says the position is a benefit for the Kurdish people and not the monopoly of a particular party.

KNew Iraq president asks Shiite once tied to Iran to form government

Kurdish moderate Barham Salih taps veteran Shiite politician Adel Abdul-Mahdi, a former member of the Tehran-backed Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, to be PM

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Kurdish moderate Barham Salih was named Iraq’s new president Tuesday, immediately setting to work by tasking veteran Shiite politician Adel Abdul-Mahdi with forming a new government, nearly five months after national elections were held, state TV reported late Tuesday.

Abdul-Mahdi is an independent who previously served as vice president, oil minister and finance minister.

He is not allied with either of the two Shiite-led blocs that each claim to have the most support after May’s elections, in which no party won an outright majority. He was previously a member of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, a large Shiite party with close ties to Iran.

 

He was tasked with forming a new government by Salih, a Kurdish politician who was elected to the largely ceremonial role of president in a parliamentary vote earlier Tuesday.

Under an unofficial agreement dating back to the 2003 US-led invasion, Iraq’s presidency — a largely ceremonial role — is held by a Kurd, while the prime minister is Shiite and the parliament speaker is Sunni.

The prime minister-designate will have 30 days to submit his cabinet to parliament. Iraq held elections May 12.

State TV said Salih, of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, won 220 votes out of the 273 lawmakers who attended Tuesday’s session. He was among 20 candidates for the post, including one from the rival Kurdistan Democratic Party. The two parties have dominated Kurdish politics for decades.

Shiite lawmaker Hamid al-Moussawi said the lawmakers were supposed to vote Monday, but delayed the session for nearly 24 hours after the KDP and the PUK were unable to agree on a candidate. The parliament speaker eventually decided to hold a vote among all 20 nominees.

 
The KDP’s nominee was Fuad Hussein, who served as chief of staff for the former Kurdish regional president Masoud Barzani.

Born in 1960 in the northern city of Sulaimaniyah, Salih joined the PUK in 1976 and later worked in its foreign relations department in London. He studied at Cardiff University and the University of Liverpool.

He held various posts in the Iraqi government after the 2003 invasion, including planning minister and deputy prime minister, and from 2009 to 2011 he served as prime minister of the Kurdish region.

Last year, he broke away from PUK following the death of the party’s founder, Jalal Talabani, a former Iraqi president. Salih formed an opposition party, but returned to the PUK to be its nominee for president.

Two Shiite-led blocs have emerged since the May elections, both of which claim to have the most seats and therefore the right to form a government. One is led by the current prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, and includes supporters of the populist Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose followers won the most votes in the election. The other bloc includes state-sanctioned militias, many of which are backed by Iran, as well as former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
