Political parties in Iraq

Political parties in Iraq are diverse groups that represent different religious, ethnic, and ideological interests, competing to influence government policies. Since 2003, Iraq has experienced a complex political landscape with parties aligned along Sunni, Shia, Kurdish, and other identities. These parties often form alliances and coalitions to gain power and govern the country. Their priorities can include issues like federalism, religion, minority rights, and national unity. The system aims to ensure representation for Iraq’s diverse population, but political rivalry and corruption have also led to instability and challenges in governance.
