The Kirkuk Provincial Council meeting to elect a new Turkmen governor now appears to have been postponed until this evening, although it remains unclear whether it will be held at all today. The delay came after the PUK’s 5+1 council members did not attend and instead went to Sulaimani to meet Bafel Talabani. There is reportedly protest within the PUK’s Kirkuk circles over the change, although some accounts suggest the objection is less about handing the post to a Turkmen and more about the specific candidate, Muhammad Seman. One possibility, therefore, is that some within the PUK are pushing for a different Turkmen nominee rather than rejecting the transfer itself. The friction is not limited to the PUK. There are also divisions within the Turkmen Front. The Ershad Salihi faction is said to unhappy with Seman becoming governor because that would mean the current deputy governor, a Turkmen figure close to Salihi, would be handed over to the PUK. In other words, Salihi’s camp also stands to lose under this arrangement. In addition, Shia Turkmen, who form a sizeable constituency despite having no members in the provincial council, are also reportedly opposed to Seman’s appointment. The Arabs, by contrast, now appear more unified. Surprisingly, although the governorship is formally their share under the rotational agreement with the PUK, they seem willing to let it go to a Turkmen candidate for the time being. Most Arab members of the Kirkuk council are now aligned with Mohammed al-Halbousi. Although they were previously split 3-3 between Halbousi and Khamis al-Khanjar, the three members once seen as close to Khanjar belonged to a local bloc that has since broken with him and moved closer to Halbousi. As a result, Halbousi now appears to command most of the Arab members in the council.

New: Turkmen Front leader Muhammad Samaan is set to become governor of Kirkuk tomorrow, replacing the Kurdish PUK’s Rebwar Taha. He would be the first Turkmen to hold the post since 1924. This marks a notable reversal. The Turkmen Front initially boycotted the formation of the local government in 2024, but later split into two factions. One, led by Arshad Salihi, argued for participation to avoid political marginalization, and a figure aligned with his camp secured the deputy governorship. The formal leadership, however, maintained the boycott. Now, with Turkey more directly engaged, that position appears to have shifted, with the governorship going to the Front’s official leadership rather than Salihi’s faction. In the provincial council, the Turkmen Front holds two seats. The PUK controls five seats plus an allied Christian quota seat. Arab representation, largely aligned with Muhammad al-Halbousi, accounts for six seats, while the KDP holds two.

@KurdistanWatch Bafil did not Halbosi. He’s aiming to normalise his relationship with turkey in order to retain relations between PUK and Erdoghan, and to solve Jalam Talabani’s airport situation.

It is understandable that K24, which is owned by Masrour Barzani, would frame events in a way that benefits the KDP. But it is remarkable to simply make things up, and in English, as if search and archives do not exist. From the start, the Kirkuk local government deal clearly stated that the governorship would rotate. As a PUK Kirkuk council member told Rudaw in 2024, the first two years were for the PUK, followed by two years for the Arab side. What now appears to have happened is that Muhammad al-Halbousi has given one year of that Arab share to the Turkmen, which is a smart move given that the Turkmen are often kingmakers between Kurds and Arabs in Kirkuk’s demographically driven political balance. This is not, as such, a new arrangement linked to the Iraqi presidency. It was a core part of the original agreement that formed the Kirkuk local government. It is an interesting media strategy. It shows how little place truth has in the Kurdish media landscape, where outlets can contradict their own previous reporting as if archives and search do not exist. But especially on social media, where truth often carries little weight, this has increasingly become standard practice in such media circles. Link to the 2024 Rudaw report: rudaw.net/sorani/kurdist…

🇺🇸🇻🇦 The day after Trump called him "WEAK on Crime" and "terrible for Foreign Policy," Pope Leo XIV walked into the Grand Mosque in Algiers. The first American pope, attacked by an American president, responded by visiting a Muslim house of worship in Africa. The message wasn't subtle and it probably wasn't meant to be.

🚨🇰🇵 BREAKING: Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un speaks on US-Iran War "I am always ready to sit down with the US President at any time to make efforts for a mediation with Iran to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome. Peace in the world is our major goal. The world has had enough of the instability. Now that North Korea & South Korea are on the path of peace & prosperity, I would like joint military operations with South Korea and other nations. And I will not allow deployment of weapons of other nations in our vicinity."

During his visit to Sulaimani today, Kirkuk’s governor said he cannot visit Erbil because he is being boycotted and is not welcomed by KDP officials. This comes on top of the KDP’s boycott of the new Iraqi president, Nizar Ahmed. The problems are piling up and are becoming increasingly untenable. When the leader of the largest Sunni bloc, Mohammed al-Halbousi, cannot visit Erbil, when relations with PM Al-Sudani have deteriorated to the point that the KDP has been backing his rival, Nouri al-Maliki, when the Iraqi president cannot visit, when the governor of Kirkuk cannot visit, and when tensions have also been mounting in Mosul, this is no longer about one dispute here and another there. It points to a deeper political failure. The KDP needs a reset. It cannot continue like this. Otherwise, its electoral strength will increasingly become a liability if it cannot convert electoral success into alliances, or at least into workable political relationships.
