Shafaq News/ The United States Embassy in Iraq expressed, on Monday, its concern over the Kurdistan Democratic Party’s announcement of a boycott of the Kurdistan Regional Parliament elections.

Earlier today, the Kurdistan Democratic Party announced a boycott of the parliamentary elections in the Kurdistan Region, scheduled to be held next June, while threatening to leave the political process in Iraq if the “state administration” coalition does not commit to implementing the agreements concluded between its parties.

US Ambassador Elena Romansky wrote on the X website, “We are concerned about the Kurdistan Democratic Party’s announcement of a boycott of the elections in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.”

She added, “We urge the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to ensure that the elections are free, fair, transparent and credible.”

She stressed that “all citizens of the Kurdistan region of Iraq should have a voice in determining their future.”
