"We pledge to protect and continue on Mam's path," he said. 

"The leadership members were elected by the unanimous vote of the congress members and it's a pleasure that we emerged from the congress together with our heads held high," he added. 

"The Kurdish people will witness a greater presence and influence of the PUK, and we will open a new door for the younger generation," he said.
