A high-level delegation from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), led by PUK Politburo Member Qubad Talabani, met on Monday evening, 8 December 2025, with Muhsen al-Mandelawi, leader of Al-Asas Alliance, in Baghdad.

Talabani stated: "The successful conduct of the parliamentary elections represents an important step in strengthening the foundations of democracy in Iraq. The post-election phase will present greater challenges for all political parties as they work to create a constructive environment for forming a strong and efficient government that reflects the election results and meets the aspirations of the citizens."

He also outlined the PUK’s vision for the next phase, emphasising that party supports forming a government capable of fundamentally resolving the outstanding issues between the Kurdistan Region and Baghdad — particularly those related to the budget and the salaries of the Kurdistan Region.
