Iraqi President Barham Salih stressed the importance of guaranteeing the appropriate conditions for the success of the upcoming parliamentary elections, scheduled to take place on June 6.
During a meeting with a delegation of Al-Amal Al-Kurdistaniyah alliance, the president said the elections should be held in a suitable atmosphere, away from fraud, manipulation and pressure.
He also called for “concerted efforts to reach radical solutions to the outstanding issues between the Kurdistan region and the federal government, based on the constitution, and for the 2021 budget to guarantee the rights of all citizens.”
