During the meeting, the parliament voted by 70 votes for Bafel Talabani and Lahore Sheikh Genki to join the party's joint presidency.

According to the rules of the voting, the tasks of the joint presidency of the union, redefining the party’s policies, deciding on problems that may arise, have the authority to authorize gatherings and meetings, coordinating within the union’s organizational structure with all the offices of the party, signing political agreements as the primary officials, responsibility on the revenues, wealth and property of the National Union and checking the existing ones.

In addition to the two co-chairs, the Union is working to form a three-member administrative body to handle daily administrative matters.
