The Kurdistan region parliament is expected to hold a session on Wednesday March the 25th, to discuss the Kurdistan region general elections draft law, PUKmedia correspondent reported.
“In the session notes by Kurdistan region president on Kurdistan region elections draft law will be discussed. The draft law is expected to be ratified and then it would be submitted to the Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission, IHEC. Some of the notes by President Barzani would be taken into consideration, however the draft law eventually is expected to be ratified since President Barzani can reject draft laws once,” Arez Abdullah, Head of Cultural and Foreign Relations Committee inside the Kurdistan region parliament exclusively told PUKmedia.
“I think general elections in the Kurdistan region should be ratified in due time, since there are no obstacles except for technical issues. However, if there were any technical issue the Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission can expand the elections’ deadline for needed preparations. If the elections would be postponed, the Kurdistan region democratic and political processes would be under question and suspension. The sooner the draft law to be ratified the better for the Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission to make preparations for these elections.” he added.
