Iraqi Kurdistan Parliament


The Iraqi Kurdistan Parliament (Kurdish: پەرلەمانی كوردستان or simply Perleman, Arabic: المجلس الوطني لكوردستان) or IKP, is the parliament of Iraqi Kurdistan. The IKP is made up of representatives from the various parties, lists or slates that are elected every four years to serve by the inhabitants of the provinces of Iraqi Kurdistan currently governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government. Prior to the new Kurdistan Election Law passed in March 2009, the body was referred to as the Kurdistan National Assembly.
