Al-Surji: Elections in Kurdistan are not a solution to the issue of forming a government.

Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) member Ghiath al-Surji confirmed that holding elections in the Kurdistan Region is not the ideal solution to the issue of forming a government.

Al-Surji told Al-Maalouma, “The Kurdish parties in the Kurdistan Region have not discussed holding elections at this time; only the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) is talking about it.” He added, “The PUK is not afraid of holding elections and competing again. In fact, the PUK is confident it will win more seats than it did in the previous elections.”

He explained, “There is optimism within the PUK about winning more seats if elections are held. However, the party believes that holding elections at this time is not a solution, especially since the PUK will not be able to form a government on its own without the KDP, and vice versa.”
