Parliamentary elections took place in Kurdistan Region on 30 September 2018 to elect Parliament.[1] The election came a year after a failed bid for independence and left the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) with 45 seats, that positioning it to lead the next regional government. Announcement of the results was delayed for three weeks. The KDP's historic rival and junior coalition partner in government, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), was in second place with 21 seats.[2] The results suggest that Masoud Barzani’s KDP will take a dominant position in Kurdish politics.
