Election results from the vote for the regional parliament in Iraq’s semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region reveal that the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan have maintained their dominance, with the emergence of the New Generation party as a significant opposition force.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party secured 39 seats, primarily from Irbil and Dohuk, while the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan won 23 seats, maintaining its stronghold in Sulaymaniyah. The New Generation party, a newcomer in Kurdish politics, made substantial progress by securing 15 seats, up from 8 in the previous election.
