Ali al-Zeydi Seeks Kurdish Support in Erbil

Ali al-Zeydi, the prime minister candidate in Iraq, made a crucial visit to Erbil to garner support from Kurdish leaders for forming a government within the constitutional 30-day period.

Key Points

Al-Zeydi met with IKBY Prime Minister Mesrur Barzani, KDP leader Mesud Barzani, and later headed to Sulaymaniyah to meet with PUK leader Bafıl Talabani.

The support of the Kurds is vital for al-Zeydi to overcome the political deadlock and form his cabinet.

IKBY seeks respect for constitutional rights, preservation of the region's federal status, fair distribution of budget shares, and a permanent solution to the disputed territories issue in exchange for their support.
