Day Thirteen – Presidential Challengers Disagree

Shkow Sharif


According to Rudaw the four candidates who are running against President Masoud Barzani for the Presidential Office, Halo Ibrahim Ahmed, Kamal Mirwadaly, Hussein Garmiani and Safin Muhammad have been in negotiations.

However, the negotiations, which were designed to put forward only one of the four candidates to run against the President in the final few weeks of campaigning, have been riddled with disagreements. This of course contradicts Halo Ibrahim Ahmed’s claim that they had reached an agreement.


To an outside observer it seems this may have been an attempt by the opposition to concentrate each individual support base in to one larger opposition movement to present a more credible challenge to the President.
