Shafaq News/ The President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) on Thursday said he approves holding an early parliamentary election in Iraq if the political forces commit to its results.

The Kurdish leader's remarks came during a meeting with the head of al-Siyada bloc, Khamis al-Khanjar, in the Saladin resort near the capital of the Kurdistan region, Erbil, earlier today.
