Voters In Iraq's 3 Kurdish Regions Hold Parliamentary Elections
Briefly

Iraqi Kurds recently held elections for a new regional parliament, reflecting a shift among voters toward new leadership. While the two main parties continue their long-standing control, emerging opposition parties are gaining traction, significantly appealing to younger voters. Observers noted a frustration among the populace regarding the traditional parties' monopoly on jobs and the superficial nature of democracy in the region, highlighting a desire for genuine political change that addresses the needs of all citizens.
The democracy is not just on a paper. You have to be implemented in reality. But unfortunately, the sitting party uses democracy to make things look good for outsiders.
Voters are frustrated over the lack of opportunity—the fact that the parties control a lot of the jobs, lack of freedom for people not connected with those big parties.
