Today, Monday, the political bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) released a statement on the conclusion of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) 14th Congress held in Duhok, Kurdistan region, between November 3 and 6.
The PUK politburo congratulated its counterpart body, the newly elected KDP central committee. "On behalf of the PUK, we commend you on the success of the Fourth Congress of your party and the election of the new leadership for the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
In its fourth Congress, around a thousand KDP members elected 41 party officials to the central committee.
"We hope that the recommendations and decisions of the congress have been in the interest of the success of our people's unity and better governance and worthy of the Kurdish region citizens."
The members of the KDP's Politburo and Leadership will also join the Congress without a vote. Moreover, 25 percent of the members of Congress must be women.
Around a thousand people are expected to participate in the 14th Congress of the KDP.
The last KDP Congress was held in 2010. According to internal rules of the KDP, the Congress must be held every four years, but the 14th Congress was postponed due to the war against ISIS.
Moreover, the KDP Politburo Secretary Fadhil Mirani announced in February 2021 that his party would hold its 14th Congress the following May.
KDP congress elected Masoud Barzani as president of the KDP, and his son Masrour Barzani and his nephew Nechirvan Barzani as his deputies.
Kurdish revolutionaries in Iran founded the KDP on August 16, 1946, in Mahabad. Soon after its establishment, the party began to engage in armed struggle with various oppressive regimes over Kurdish rights for autonomy.
