On Monday, the first session of the sixth term of Kurdistan Region’s Parliament began with the participation of 97 out of 100 elected candidates.
Acting under the guidance of the eldest member, the Parliament opened nominations for the leadership roles, with several political blocs presenting their candidates for the three positions. 
For the Parliament leadership, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) has nominated Vala Fareed and Halgurd Sheikh Najib. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) has put forward Shalaw Kosrat Rasool and Miran Mohammed. Additionally, the New Generation Movement nominated Kurdawan Jamal.
However, due to the absence of a number of lawmakers, the session could not meet the legal quorum, leading to its temporary suspension.
