The Federal Supreme Court of Iraq has dismissed two lawsuits calling for the dissolution of the Kurdistan Parliament.

The first lawsuit was filed by Omar Abdullah Fattah, known as "Omar Gulpi," a leadership member of the Kurdistan Justice Group (KJG). In his complaint against the President of the Kurdistan Region and the Speaker of the Parliament, Gulpi had requested the Federal Court to dissolve the sixth session of the Kurdistan Parliament. The basis for his claim was that the first session of this term, held on December 2, 2025, failed to elect a parliamentary presidency within the 45 days stipulated by the internal procedures following the ratification of the election results.

Omar Gulpi, himself a winning candidate in the Kurdistan elections who did not take his seat due to his party's decision, also demanded that the court order the recovery of all material benefits received by the 97 winning candidates after they took their oaths. The Kurdistan Parliament has 100 seats in this term, but Gulpi counted only 97, as he, Abdulstar Majid of the KJG, and Lahur Sheikh Jangi have not yet taken their legal oaths. Furthermore, he requested the Federal Court to compel the commission to prepare for new parliamentary elections in the Kurdistan Region as soon as possible.

The second lawsuit was filed by Sarwa Abdulwahid, head of the New Generation Movement's faction, along with parliamentarians Kawa Abdulqadir and Kurdawan Jamal. The plaintiffs filed their case against the President of the Kurdistan Region, requesting that the court overturn the President's decision not to dissolve the parliament. They argued that the parliament's failure to elect its leadership and grant confidence to the Council of Ministers constitutes a violation of Article (10/Fourth/3) of the Kurdistan Region's Presidency Law No. (1) of 2005. This article states: "The Kurdistan National Assembly - Iraq shall be dissolved by decree in the following cases: 3- If the assembly fails to grant confidence to the Council of Ministers in three different and consecutive ministerial formations."

The Federal Court rejected all the lawsuits, stating that the matter does not fall within its jurisdiction.

This is the second ruling in favor of the two ruling parties in the Kurdistan Region since the new president of the Federal Court took office. Yesterday, the same court rejected two lawsuits seeking to annul the oil contracts signed by Masrour Barzani in the United States.
