A statement from President Masoud Barzani

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

During the previous elections for the Iraqi House of Representatives , the people of Kurdistan rewarded the KDP for its nationalist and patriotic stances, its steadfastness and sacrifices, and with the support and backing of the people of Kurdistan, the KDP became (the first party) at the level of Kurdistan and Iraq.

 

Hence, I call upon the dear citizens of Kirkuk, Shingal and the rest of the Kurdish areas outside the administration of the Region, and in particular the masses and supporters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in those areas, to participate with passion and enthusiasm in the elections and to respond with their votes to the illegal reality imposed on those areas. I also call upon the dear citizens of the Kurdistan Region and the masses, members and supporters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party to perform their national and patriotic duty and vote for the Kurdistan Democratic Party’s candidates.

 

I also consider it necessary to thank the members and supporters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and all the party institutions affiliated with our party for their commitment to the ideal civic and civilized values ​​during the electoral campaigns. I hope that the elections for the Iraqi House of Representatives will be held in a calm atmosphere free of problems, and that its results contribute to consolidating the principles of partnership and meeting the legitimate demands of the citizens, and that they achieve the true will of the Iraqi peoples.
