The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), (Kurdish: حكومه تى هه
ريمى كوردستان, Hikûmetî Herêmî Kurdistan, ) is the official
ruling body of the predominantly Kurdish region of northern Iraq
referred to as Iraqi Kurdistan, or sometimes simply, Kurdistan.
The KRG consists of a unicameral parliament with 111 seats known
as the Kurdistan National Assembly (KNA). The cabinet is
selected by the majority party or list who also select the
president and prime minister of the Kurdistan region. The
president of Kurdistan is the head of the cabinet and chief of
state who delegates executive powers to the cabinet, while the
prime minister is traditionally the head of the legislature body
but also shares executive powers with the president. Parliament
creates and passes laws by a majority vote, and the president
has the power to veto any bill. Currently, the cabinet is
composed of the largest two governing parties, the KDP and the
PUK and their allies, which include Iraqi Communist Party and
the Socialist Party of Kurdistan.
