PUK, New Generation reaffirm alliance as government formation stalls: Statement

The ruling Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the opposition New Generation Movement (NGM) announced on Wednesday that their alliance “remains open” to government formation talks, signaling adherence to their earlier position of entering the negotiations as a single bloc - which has been categorically rejected by the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) - amid a two-year-long political impasse.
