Rudaw- Ja’far Iminki, head of the Elections Center of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, KDP, told Rudaw that according to their inside survey the Kurdistani List, a joint list by the KDP and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, PUK, will gain 65 parliamentary seats while the Change List will obtain a maximum of 10 seats and the Service and Reform List will get about seven seats.
“If we get less than 65 seats, it will be a bad result,” he told Rudaw. With 78 parliamentary seats, KDP and PUK currently make the majority of the Kurdistan Parliament.
The Kurdistani List is expected to lose votes in some areas of the region to the Change List which is headed by Nawshirwan Mustafa, the PUK’s former deputy secretary general.
“The weak point of the Kurdistani List is Sulaimaniya province,” said Iminki. “We have strong rival there; the Change List and the (Service and Reform) List.”
But Iminki is confident that the Kurdistani List will win the majority in Sulaimaniya, “In terms of quality and quantity (The Change List) doesn’t have such a historic place to become a very strong rival of the Kurdistani List.”
