[size=45]till then; The two main Kurdish parties in the Kurdistan region (“the Kurdistan Democratic Party” and “the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan”) exchanged accusations regarding the position on the position of the President of the Republic. Coordination Framework”). In this context; A member of the Political Bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Saadi Ahmed Bira, announced that they "failed a coup to marginalize the (PUK) in forming political alliances in Baghdad." In reference to the attempts to split the ranks of the "PUK" by replacing its candidate, the current president, Barham Salih, with another from within the "Union", provided that he is satisfied with him by the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani. Bira said that "(the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) faced, during the previous period, vigorous attempts at exclusion and marginalization, and a failed coup attempt to contain it and end its role."[/size]
