TEHRAN, May 8 - Kurdistan region of northern Iraq will hold an election on Sept. 30.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – A Kurdistan Regional Government media official said KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani had approved the date, Reuters reported.
The vote should elect both a parliament and a president for Kurdish regions which have gained self-rule in 1991, when a U.S-led coalition forced Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army to withdraw from them in the wake of his eight-month occupation of Kuwait.
A federal Iraqi election, which includes the Kurdistan region, is set to take place on Saturday and its results will give clues as to the importance of the different Kurdish political parties.
