Kirkuk, March 15 (AKnews)- Two officials from Kirkuk province will be replaced, the officials said at a press conference Tuesday.
In a joint press conference, Abdul-Rahman Mustafa, the governor for Kirkuk and Rzgar Ali, the head of Kirkuk Provincial Council told the reporters about their resignation. The head announced he has already resigned and the governor said he will summit his resignation in two days.
Mohammed Khalil, a member of Kirkuk Provincial Council earlier told AKnews that the members of the Kirkuk provincial council have agreed to replace Mustafa with the Kurdistan Blocs Coalition (KBC)’s Najemaddin Karim.
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein regime in 2003, Mustafa has been the governor for the multiethnic Kirkuk.
The recent anti-government public displays in many Iraqi cities ousted a number of Iraqi officials. The replacements in Kirkuk also seem to be a device to calm the riots in the province which demanded more “efficiency” from the government.
