[Source is in English (Rudaw); the President's remarks were likely delivered in Kurdish/Arabic. Editorial context, not a translation.] Declared positions of Nechirvan Barzani — President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and a leading figure of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) — from the press conference he gave after casting his ballot in Iraq's parliamentary elections on 11 November 2025. His central, recurring demand is the full implementation of Iraq's federal constitution, which the KDP accuses Baghdad of violating with respect to the Kurdistan Region's constitutionally guaranteed autonomy and rights; he frames the goal as "a democratic federal Iraq where all components get their rights and achievements." This captures the Kurdish federalist position — distinct from the Arab Shia, Sunni, and Islamist profiles elsewhere in the dataset. [Axes: federalism, democracy, sectarianism.]
