The dispute between the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan escalated after the Kurdistan Region Parliament held its first session in nearly two years and elected its presiding body, with 52 lawmakers present and the PUK boycotting the session. The PUK announced that it was withdrawing from the regional government and threatened to establish a separate administration in Sulaymaniyah, while the KDP said the session was legal and urged the other parties to take part in parliament and government. The crisis follows the October 2024 elections, in which the KDP won 39 seats, the PUK 23, and the PUK’s ally, the New Generation Movement, 15. Both parties said contacts and negotiations were underway. Parliament is due to meet again on Monday to elect the Legal Committee and open nominations for the presidency of the region.
