The KDP rejects any move by the Iraqi Parliament towards the annulment of the election held in the Kurdistan Region and Kirkuk, said Mohammed in a statement.

According to NRT Mohammed said his party supports manual recount of the votes according to law and to vanish cautious distrust by the voters and political parties about reliability of the election.

KDP is ready to help taking the constitution into account to prevent further escalation of the issues and more doubts, he added.

The Iraqi Parliament finished the first reading of the amended election law, committing the electoral commission to manual vote counting.
