Boycott and Power Sharing
In November 2006, Arab and Turkomen members of the council withdrew, claiming that the Kurdish majority, which holds 26 of the 41 seats on the council, had excluded them from decision-making and governance. Arab members returned to the council in December 2007 after a new power-sharing deal was agreed.KCP members
