Gorran withdraws from KRG

The leader of the Change Movement (Gorran) on Thursday announced the party's withdrawal from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and local governments, just days ahead of the parliamentary election

“Based on the majority vote of the national assembly members, it was decided to withdraw Gorran from both the Kurdistan Regional Government and local governments,” Dana Ahmed Majid, acting general coordinator of the party, said in a video posted to Facebook.

“This decision is a response to the will and demands of the people of the Kurdistan Region,” he added, promising to rectify past mistakes and “make Gorran strong again to support the people of Kurdistan.”

In the current KRG cabinet, Gorran holds the ministries of labour and social affairs, construction and housing, finance and economy, and trade and industry. Gorran members are also in the posts of deputy Kurdistan Region president and governor of Sulaimani.

Majid said that the decision to quit the government was made on Wednesday by a majority vote in the national assembly, a senior body in the party’s structure.

“Even though the decision is late, it is correct and necessary,” he said.

The Kurdistan Region will hold parliamentary elections on October 20 and parties have been actively courting votes since late September. Gorran outlined its agenda on Thursday, with less than a week remaining in the campaigning period.

    The party was slow getting its campaign off the ground because of an internal disagreement, Choman Mohammed, head of Gorran’s electoral list in Sulaimani, said on Monday
In late September, former general coordinator Omar Sayyid Ali formally transferred leadership of the party to Majid. The ceremony took place in a park in Sulaimani instead of at the party headquarters at Zargata Hill because the sons of Gorran’s founder, the late Nawshirwan Mustafa, had blocked access to the hill, expressing opposition to the appointment of the new leader.

    Gorran’s national assembly similarly rejected the appointment of Majid. It also “did not support the party’s participation in the elections,” Nzar Mahmoud, a council member, told Rudaw on Wednesday
Gorran is a pro-reform party that shook the foundations of the ruling parties when it won 25 seats in the 111-seat regional parliament in 2009 to become the first opposition party in the legislature’s history. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) together received only 59 seats in that vote.

The party, however, made several unpopular decisions that saw it dramatically fall out of favor with voters, including handing power to Mustafa’s sons after his death and opting to make agreements with the KDP and PUK. Supporters saw this as Gorran turning away from its opposition and democratic roots.

    In the most recent election - for Iraq's parliament in 2021 - the party failed to win a seat. Following that devastating defeat, all members of Gorran’s governing body, including leader Ali, resigned
The party says it is now returning to its roots.

“Gorran will re-enter the political scene with a new strategy, returning to Kak Nawshirwan's political plans that he put forth to reform the governance system in the Kurdistan Region,” Majid stated.

Gorran has always been a party full of egotistical idiots only interested in their self aggrandizement :ymdevil:

KRG Minister Rejects Goran Decision

Kurdistan Region Minister of Construction and Housing, Dana Abdulkareem, has openly opposed recent moves by senior members of the Goran (Change Movement) to withdraw from the government, calling their decision “illegal and unenforceable.”

Abdulkareem, who also leads Gorran’s ministerial team, emphasized that only the movement’s elected National Council has the authority to make such decisions.

At a news conference, Abdulkareem expressed his commitment to following the directives of the National Council, underscoring the illegitimacy of recent withdrawal calls made by certain members outside the council’s structure. "In my role, I am fully committed to any decision by the National Council,” he affirmed, adding that a recent meeting held by the council’s members lacked a proper quorum and legitimacy.

The move to withdraw comes after Gorran’s National Council endorsed Dana Ahmad Majid as its new Secretary General on October 9, 2024. Majid, succeeding Omar Said Ali, highlighted the importance of the upcoming Kurdistan Parliament elections, encouraging Gorran’s supporters to actively engage in the campaign.

Gorran, founded in 2009 by Nawshirwan Mustafa after a split from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), has seen diminishing support in recent years. The party currently holds 12 seats in the Kurdistan Parliament and has historically aligned with pro-reform opposition ideals.

Re: Gorran MPs NOT withdrawing from KRG: Gorran collapsing

Very Confusing:

Gorran asks for another chance

Change Movement (Gorran) acting general coordinator Dana Majid urged voters for another chance Tuesday, the final day of the campaigning, and pledged to push for change and to defend people’s rights through a strong opposition.

“We ask you to give your movement [Gorran] another chance in this election and make it strong again so that in the future through a powerful opposition we can defend your rights and demands,” Majid said in a video message.

Majid pledged that the party would “work adamantly to realize welfare, peace, security, the rule of law, and root out corruption,” while promising to address the Region's service needs.

On Thursday, Majid announced the party's withdrawal from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and local governments. He encouraged voters to support the Kurdistan Region’s continued political development.

In a separate video, Kardo Mohammed, head of Gorran's parliamentary affairs reiterated the call for the people’s confidence.

“The world will not allow the Kurdistan Region to remain in this stalemate, because citizens must have a decent life, not be subjugated by force,” Mohammed said.

Mohammed echoed the need for a strong opposition, saying that “without a big opposition force, it is difficult to have change.”

“Big change depends on the will of the people. Despite our delay in campaigning, we made the right decision and can achieve change with the vote of the citizens,” he added.

    Since its founder’s passing, the movement has suffered internal disputes over who should lead the party. In September, the then-leader, Omar Sayyid Ali, was banned from entering the movement’s headquarters in Sulaimani. He relinquished the role to the party’s current acting coordinator, Majid
Once a major opposition force that won 25 seats in the 2009 regional parliamentary elections, Gorran lost popularity through several unpopular decisions, including alliances with two ruling parties and failed to win any seats in Iraq's 2021 parliamentary elections.

The Kurdistan Region will hold parliamentary elections on Sunday with early voting on Friday. Tuesday marked the final day of the official campaigning period.

I suggest voting for the Gorran MPs who are already part of the government because they have experience, ignore the rest of the party
