The USG-funded Open
Source Center (formerly the Foreign Broadcast
Information Service or FBIS) translates a Kurdish
news article indicating that the Kurdistan Islamic
Party will vote against Jaafari and generally will
vote with the Kurdistan Alliance. (The latter
announcement contradicts an earlier statement from
the party.)

Unattributed report: "If the Kurdistan Alliance does
not vote for Al-Ja'fari, Yekgirtu will not vote as
well"

A high-ranking member of the (Kurdistan Islamic)
Union (KIU) has said that regardless of their
disagreements with the Kurdistan Alliance (KA) list,
their list would not vote in favor of Al-Ja'fari for
the post of prime minister in Iraqi parliament. He
said that they would take the same stance of the KA. |

The head of the KIU Political Bureau, Hiwa Sabir,
told Hawlati that although they had shown solidarity
with the KA over destiny-shaping issues, the two
sides failed to reach an agreement to form a joint
list after a series of meetings. However, they will
cooperate in Iraqi parliament.
Hiwa Sabir added: "We will not join the KA because
they rejected all of our requests, especially our
main call for changing the KA's name to Kurdistani
Bloc."
