SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region — The People’s Front party, represented by list 169 and led by Lahur Sheikh Jangi, has officially launched its campaign for the sixth Kurdistan Region parliamentary elections. With the slogan “We Can Do It,” the party promises transformative governance reforms, calling for a broad overhaul in sectors such as economy, justice, and security.
In a speech kicking off the campaign, Jangi expressed confidence in his party’s victory and stressed the importance of public participation in the October 20 elections. He presented the elections as a historic opportunity to break from what he described as “corrupt and criminal” governance, urging citizens to make their voices heard to enact real change.
Central to the People’s Front list’s platform is resolving the long-standing salary crisis in the Kurdistan Region. Jangi outlined a plan to unify salary payments across Iraq, emphasizing that his party’s focus is on the people’s welfare rather than empty slogans.
“The rule of law is our top priority,” Jangi said, pledging to free the judiciary from political influence. He also criticized the unchecked presence of illegal weapons and militias, arguing that the safety of citizens and their property would be restored under his leadership.

Jangi closed by calling on voters to turn out in large numbers on election day, urging them to support list 169 to bring about a new era of governance for the Kurdistan Region.
