Iraqi Kurd parliament postpones elections for 8 months
(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Arbil, Iraq:Parliament in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region decided Tuesday to hold legislative elections in eight months after they were delayed amid tensions over disputed territory with the central government in Baghdad.
Simultaneous legislative and presidential elections in the Kurdish region had been due to take place on November 1 but were delayed. There was no immediate word on a date for a new presidential election.
The elections would have taken place just over a month after a September 25 referendum in the Kurdish areas resulted in a massive "yes" for independence.
