Early
voting starts in Iraq’s Kurdistan ahead of the self-ruled region’s
parliamentary elections. Thousands of security forces are casting their
ballots two days ahead of the September 21 vote. The vote is the fourth
to be held in Kurdistan in more than 20 years. The Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan (PUK) led by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and the Kurdistan
Democratic Party (KUP), led by regional President
Masoud Barzani are the main contenders in the elections. The vote is
not expected to upend the domination of the region's two main parties:
the PUK and the KUP. In 2009 elections, the coalition of KDP and PUK
took a little over 57 percent of the seats and the opposition group
Goran, or Change, received about 23 percent of them.
What do you think about the vote results and political process in Iraq’s Kurdistan?
Do you expect any change in the way the region is run after the elections? Will there be a solution to the disputes between Kurdistan Regional Government and the central government?
