The Federal Supreme Court of Iraq issued a decision on the unconstitutionality of the extension of the Kurdistan Regional Parliament. The court's decision was based on a lawsuit filed by Yusuf Mohamed, former speaker of the regional parliament (2014-2015) and a former member of the federal parliament.

A source in the Kurdistan presidency confirmed that the date set for the region's elections at the end of this year will be canceled after the decision of the Federal Court. The region has so far held 5 parliamentary elections, the first in 1992 and the last in 2018.
