Talabani party turns to courts to challenge Kurdistan parliament session

Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Iraq ·

The PUK, led by Bafel Jalal Talabani, son of the late president, plans to challenge the session at the Federal Court. The session named a new parliament presidency, which the party considers illegal and lacking legitimacy. MP Ghiyath al-Sorji said the party boycotted the session.

Iraqi Kurdistan is an autonomous region within federal Iraq with its own parliament and government. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party are the region's two main parties, and the Iraqi Federal Court is the country's highest court.
