A KDP delegation was expected to visit Sulaimani on Monday to hold talks with the PUK and Gorran about the formation of the new cabinet of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).

The source told NRT that the KDP delegation would hold an internal meeting before visiting Sulaimani instead.

“The delegation wanted to have a complete response to demands from the PUK and Gorran and that was the reason to postpone the meeting,” the source added.

The source, however, assured that the KDP meeting with the PUK and Gorran would be held this week.

On December 3, the KDP nominated Nechirvan Barzani as its candidate for president of the Kurdistan Region and Masrour Barzani as its candidate for Prime Minister.

Both Gorran and PUK welcomed the nominations, while the New Generation Movement expressed its opposition to the KDP holding both the presidency and the premiership.
