Thirteenth Congress of the Kurdistan Democratic Party

The 13th Congress of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) was held in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, under normal circumstances following the fall of the Ba'th regime in 2003 and major political changes in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.


Organizing a congress

On January 11, 2010, he began his term with a session (Reform, Justice, and Developments) in Erbil and in Martyr Sami Abdulrahman Park, attended by 350 dignitaries, including Jalal Talabani, President of the Federal Republic of Iraq, and the President Masoud Barzani The Barzani Medal was awarded to the Kurdish-friendly journalist Gwen Roberts. 8 committees were established to manage the congress's activities, including the Program Committee, the Rules Committee, the General Organization Committee, the Finance Committee, the Complaints Committee, the Communications Committee, the Peshmerga Committee, and the Professional and Public Organizations Committee. The congress set a 10 percent requirement for women's membership in the KDP leadership council. This was included in the third point of section 22 of article 217 of the Program and article 17, paragraph 2, article 2 of the Regulations. In addition, for the first time in the history of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), a women's quota was implemented in the 13th congress. It is worth noting that only one woman was elected as a member of the Central Committee in the fifth, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth congresses.

The organization of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, according to the regulations of the thirteenth congress, was as follows:

The Foundation, Organizational Committee, District Committee, Branch Committee, Provincial Leadership Council, Leadership Council, Political School, Political School Secretary, Vice President and President, as well as supervisory and monitoring committees were appointed by the leadership council and approved by the president.

At this congress, two new dialects were defined within the structure of the KDP, the first is the base, which was previously referred to as the cell and the main cell, or a combination of the two, and the second is the Leadership Council, which until 2018 was only in Hewler, Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, Garmiya, which included the activities of the provinces of Kirkuk, Diyala and some areas of Sulaymaniyah. Duhok and Mosul, for some unknown reason, were still managed in the previous way. Although Duhok was within the Kurdistan Region, Baghdad was outside, and Europe and America, which had two branches, remained the same.

The most interesting institution in this KDP congress was the Council of Experts, which was appointed by the Leadership Council and was established in accordance with Article 15 of the regulations. For this reason and due to the importance of its duties, this article consists of four paragraphs and several points. As mentioned earlier, this council was registered in the regulations in 1993 at the eleventh congress of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Yekgirtu, under the name of the Consultative Council.
