\n\t\t\tThe unnamed official said that Barzani in a letter sent to the Kurdish parliament on Saturday had outlined a plan to divide up the president\u2019s power.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe official added that the parliament\u00a0would meet Sunday to redistribute the powers of the president.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAn unnamed source told the Kurdistan24 broadcast news station that the reports claiming the letter is Barzani\u2019s resignation were \u201cuntrue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLast week, parliament decided \u201cto freeze the activities\u201d of Barzani, his vice-president Kosrat Rasul and the head of the presidential\u00a0cabinet, Fuad Hussein.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn October 22, the main opposition party of Iraq\u2019s Kurdistan region called on Barzani to quit, calling for the formation of a \u201cNational salvation government.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cThe Kurdistan presidency must be dissolved and a national salvation government be formed to overcome the current situation,\u201d said a statement released by Gorran, or the Change Movement party.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIn defiance of Iraq\u2019s stiff opposition, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) held a non-binding referendum on September 25 on secession from the central government in Baghdad, which slammed the vote as unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Iraqi government responded to the referendum by taking a number of punitive measures, including a campaign to seize back positions held by Kurdish forces since 2014, when they joined the fight against Daesh terrorists.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tUnder criticism from Iraq and the entire international community, the Kurdish leadership has now offered to suspend the results of the vote and engage in dialog with the central government, but Baghdad wants the results to be fully canceled.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBarzani was elected president by the KRG parliament in 2005. He was re-elected in 2009 by a popular vote \u2013 Kurdistan\u2019s first direct presidential election. The parliament extended his mandate until August 20, 2015 after his second term expired in 2013.<\/p>\n
