INA – BAGHDAD
Kurdistan Democratic Party - KDP clarified the details of Al-Hanana meeting in Najaf, which was sponsored by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Sayyed Muqtada Al-Sadr, while stressing that the party wanted to deliver a message at the meeting confirming its support for the government of the national majority.
"The meeting witnessed the presentation of the historic and important initiative for the political process in Iraq by the party leader, Massoud Barzani, which was carried by the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, to the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, which came to save Iraq from political stagnation with the approaching vote on the presidential candidate,” said the leader of the party, Repin Salam, to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), noting that “the vote on the three presidencies is linked with each other to prevent leaving a gap for foreign interference and non-Iraqi interests,”
He added, "Barzani and Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi took this initiative as they lead the two parties with the highest number of seats in parliament from the Sunni and Kurdish components, as they spoke with Sayyed al-Sadr as the sponsor of the largest bloc in order to respond to popular demands,"
Salam stressed "the message that the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Sunni House wanted to deliver is to support the government of the winning national political majority and to form it from the three houses," noting that, "We tried previously to enter into a consensual government and did not get positive results,"
He sent a message to the politicians, calling them to "join this strong and broad alliance based on the election results,"
"The three parties are the strongest and the winner at this stage. Any bloc that does not want to join forces must go to the opposition, and because Iraq is a democratic country, there must be a strong opposition," he added.
He stressed that "Sayyed Al-Sadr tweeted at the end of the meeting, confirming that the majority government would go, neither eastern nor western, and this will be on the ground through this experience of governance,”
