BAGHDAD, Iraq— A senior member of the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) says that Kurdish factions will not take part in the new Iraqi cabinet, if the number of ministerial posts for the Kurds remains unchanged.Speaking to Rudaw Thursday, Fazil Mirani said the current two ministerial positions allocated for the Kurds in the new Iraqi government “do not correspond to the fair share of the Kurdistan region in Iraq.”“We agreed in a meeting with the other Kurdish factions that we would not participate in any Iraqi government that refused to consider the true share of Kurdistan region and its people,” Mirani said.The Kurdish factions in Baghdad had earlier demanded 20 percent of all government positions in return for their support of Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s new cabinet.Kurds have received two ministerial positions in the new cabinet, oil and reconstruction, out of 16 ministries. The Iraqi parliament is due to vote on the list of nominees before the April 10 deadline.Kurdish and Sunni factions in the parliament are likely to reject the new list, which they already have described as “sectarian and excluding.”Speaking to Rudaw on Thursday a Kurdish lawmaker said that there might be a no confidence vote for both the cabinet and the prime minister in the parliaments coming extra sessions.“The parliament might also call for prime minister’s resignation,” Ala Talabani told Rudaw.On Friday one of the two Kurdish ministerial nominees rejected his candidacy and said he would no take part in any cabinet “without broad political consensus,” which he said the new government lacked.The withdrawal of Nzar Doski from the Iraqi government only a day after he was nominated by Abadi is an early sign of greater challenges the prime minister will face in securing endorsement for his controversial cabinet.
