The party has only one seat in the Kurdish parliament.
Kamil Mahmud, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Islamic Movement (KIM), told Rudaw that a delegation from his party’s politburo met with high delegations from the Islamic Group (Komal) and Gorran in Sulaimani on Monday.
According to Mahmud, the aim of the meeting was to discuss the creation of a broad opposition front in the Kurdistan Region. The KIM delegation submitted to Gorran and Komal a proposal to organize a political opposition in order to bring the Kurdistan Region out of its current problems.
In the meeting, “there was also discussion on organizing peoples’ protests in a way that the opposition takes to the streets too, preventing other actors from derailing the protests,” he said.
He said that all three parties agreed to coordinate and consult with each other.
Last week, Gorran and Komal resigned from the KRG after nearly four years in the coalition government.
Another member of the coalition government, the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) has also discussed the possibility of withdrawing from the KRG following recent anti-government protests.
The KIU decided on Sunday to stay in the KRG, for now, but set out several demands, including releasing detained protesters, improving peoples’ living conditions and wages, and responding to the “rightful demands” of the protesters.
KIU leader Salahaddin Bahadin and Komal’s Ali Bapir met in Erbil on Monday.
