Opposition to Article 140 grows
The October provincial council elections, which are becoming more of a hot-button issue every day, must be delayed, says the Kurdistan Coalition List.

According to the Iraqi Constitution, Kurdistan Parliament has the authority to decide how to hold provincial council elections in the region.

Meanwhile, Iraqi Parliament is seriously discussing the passage of a provincial council law on which different political parties are disputing how to hold the October elections.

"According to the Iraqi Constitution, any federal region can have its own law, and this includes Kurdistan Region; thus, it is possible not to hold provincial council elections in the region" at the same time it is being held in other Iraqi provinces, said Dr. Sa'di Barzinji, a member of Iraqi Parliament, about the Kurdistan Coalition List.
