A+AA-

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A high-level delegation of the Kurdistan Region’s leading party, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), on Sunday will visit Sulaimani to meet with officials from its rival, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), to sign a new agreement which would finalize the formation of the next regional cabinet, a senior PUK official said on Saturday. 

According to the member of the PUK's leadership council who spoke to Kurdistan 24 on condition of anonymity, the KDP will also conduct a separate meeting with the Gorran Movement while in Sulaimani.

He added that the KDP delegation will be headed by Nechirvan Barzani, the incumbent Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, specifying, “The KDP and the PUK will sign the final deal on Sunday about the formation of the new government.” 

Various meetings continue between the three factions, seven months after last year’s parliamentary election that was held in the autonomous Kurdistan Region.

Previously, the KDP signed separate agreements with the PUK and Gorran that were also described as final deals, but disagreement grew after the PUK demanded additional posts in the cabinet, a move which also strained relations with Gorran.  

On September 30, the Kurdistan Region held its parliamentary election, with parties competing for representation in the 111-seat parliament. The KDP came out on top by securing 45 seats, followed by the PUK with 21 seats and Gorran with 12.

The KDP has already nominated Masrour Barzani, the current Chancellor of the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC), as the prime minister to form the new KRG cabinet and Nechirvan Barzani as their candidate for the newly reinstated post of President of the Kurdistan Region.

Kurdish politician: reaching a final consensus to form a new government

Political | 08:10 - 04/05/2019

 

 

 

Baghdad - Mawazin News The 
differences and obstacles are still in front of the exit of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq to light, to end the state of political vacuum, experts believe that it requires unconventional consensus between the two major parties National Union and the Democratic Party to get out of the current crisis. 
Tariq Jawhar, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, denied that his party is obstructing the formation of the new government in the region. He pointed out that the main reason behind the delay of the formation process is that the negotiations between the two major parties during the past period did not reach during the previous negotiations and consultations a comprehensive agreement. 
"In view of the failure to reach the required consensus, all things were negotiable between the two parties after the retreats that took place. Moreover, there is a third party in the equation, the party of change that may be compatible with the Democratic Party.
He explained that it now depends on the consensus between the three parties on how to contribute and participate in the positions and ministries that each party has the right to receive, and the process of delay may be due to differences and differences of views within the parties on many issues.   
Jouhar stressed that there is a trend to hold an extended meeting during the days and perhaps in the coming hours between the two major parties in the province of Sulaymaniyah in order to finalize the final agreement between the two parties, "Union and Democratic" and perhaps between change and democratic as well. 
Jawhar believes that things are moving towards the signing of the final agreement between the National Union and the Democratic Party within a few days to come. 
Jowhar pointed out that without the signing of the final agreement no future government can succeed, if responsibility falls on the three major parties in the region and not the National Union alone.
The two major parties in the region, the National Union and the Democratic Party have held a series of consultations and negotiations in order to reach a consensus on the distribution of positions and portfolios, all of which failed because of the lack of a final agreement between the two sides, which restarted the process of consultations again and delay the exit of the government To the light

SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region – The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Gorran have reached a final understanding regarding the next Kurdistan Regional Government, settling outstanding concerns between them and is now looking towards concluding discussions with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). 

Nechirvan Barzani, leading a delegation from the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), arrived in Sulaimani Sunday morning to meet with the PUK and Gorran, and end months of discussions over formation of the next government. 

“We have reached an understanding and we hope that in the next few days we will start the process of forming the next cabinet by initially reviving the Kurdistan presidency law,” KDP spokesperson Mahmoud Mohammed told reporters Sunday afternoon after the meeting between his party and Gorran. 

The KDP first reached a deal with Gorran in February with Gorran agreeing to enter the government and pushing a package of institutional reforms. 

“We have emphasized that the main issue in this agreement is reform in every field of power, administration and governance in particular in the unification of the Peshmerga force and Interior [Ministry] forces as well as the independence of the judiciary system,” said Gorran spokesperson Shoresh Haji at the Sunday press conference in Sulaimani.

Another of Gorran’s priorities is amending the presidency law, calling for the president to be elected by parliament not a public vote. 

The government-formation process has dragged on for more than seven months. Parliamentary elections were held on September 30, 2018, with the KDP coming out on top, winning 45 seats in the 111-seat legislature, but not securing an outright majority. It has spent more than half a year trying to build a governing coalition with the PUK, which won 21 seats, and Gorran, which has 12 seats. 

After signing its agreement with Gorran, KDP then arrived at a similar pact with the PUK in March, but disagreements over distributing cabinet positions lingered. Gorran and PUK also disagreed over the president's deputies. 

PUK, which shares control of the security forces with the KDP, wanted the creation of a second deputy president who would be responsible for military affairs. Gorran, which does not have an armed force, objected, arguing that the new post would be a financial drain and, if created, should be solely an administrative position.

Speaking on Sunday, Haji said that, amid the disputes, forming the government must be the priority, for the sake of the people and the market. 

"The interest of the Kurdish people and the revival of the bazaar is our main responsibility and we believe, given the circumstances which the wider region is facing, the sooner the government is formed is in the interest of the Kurdish people and the bazaar,” he said. 

KDP’s Mohammed thanked Gorran “for being understanding in relation to our agreement.”

KDP is now in a meeting with PUK. A PUK member told their party’s media that they will sign their final agreement with the KDP on Sunday. 

“It is important that the three parties sit down to lay down the program of the next government,” said Mohammed. 

Gorran, which formed as a breakaway group from the PUK and has had on-and-off relations with its parent party, is depending on the KDP to bring PUK on board. 

“For a few months, we have not had any official relations with the PUK. Unofficially maybe we have received some messages, but there have been no official contacts,” Shunas Sherko, an official with Gorran’s diplomatic relations department, told Rudaw TV after the press conference. 

“We hope that the PUK and Komal (Kurdistan Islamic Group) take part in the next cabinet, but given that the KDP is the main winner of the last election it is their responsibility to approach these parties,” he said.
