The spokesperson of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) states that the sessions of the Kurdistan Parliament will remain open until a political agreement is reached between the parties to elect the speaker of parliament.

PUK Spokesperson Saadi Ahmed Pire informed PUKMEDIA that no plans have been made for a meeting between the PUK and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) to date.

"Nevertheless, our meetings persist, and we remain receptive to any party seeking to come to an agreement with us," he stated.

"The sessions of the Kurdistan Parliament will remain open until a political agreement is reached between the parties to elect the speaker of parliament, which will pave the way for determining the positions to form the government," he added.

The first session of the sixth term of the Kurdistan Parliament commenced last week, with 97 MPs taking the oath in the presence of consuls and representatives from 19 countries in the Kurdistan Region. Due to a lack of quorum, the session remained open, and the election of the speaker, deputy speaker, and secretary of the parliament remains to be addressed in the next round of the first session.

Pire further stated: "People have lost confidence, so we must review our past actions and correct the course of governance."

The election for the sixth term of the Kurdistan Parliament took place on October 20, 2024, across four electoral constituencies, where the PUK secured major victories in all four constituencies, increasing both its vote share and its representation with 23 seats in the parliament.
