Barzani criticized “smearing” between Kurdish parties during the campaign, describing it as “extremely bad” for the nation.
“It’s a proven fact that no one can do anything alone in Baghdad if the Kurds are not unanimous on matters,” he said, calling for unity.
Post-election alliances are even more important than campaign jostling, he added.
Barzani stood proud of the KDP’s record – as an advocate for Kurdistan independence in the referendum and managing the government through tough economic times.
Going forward, he stressed that Kurds must remain united and that, no matter what course Kurdistan takes, Baghdad will “remain a strategic partner” and relations must remain on a good level.
