The Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan is the name of the electoral coalition first presented as a united Kurdish list in the January 2005 Election in Iraq . Elections were held simultaneously for the assembly of the Kurdistan Regional Government . The Alliance represents a coalition of the two main Kurdish parties, the Kurdish Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union Of Kurdistan – once engaged in a civil war with each other – along with many smaller groups.
The alliance received 1,570,663 votes to the Kurdistan National Assembly, or 90% of the vote. At the federal level, the DPAK took close to 26% of the vote and won 75 seats out of 275 in the Iraqi National Assembly. They were able to secure the selection of Jalal Talabani (the PUK leader) as President Of Iraq , while Massoud Barzani (the KDP leader) became President of Iraqi Kurdistan. In the Iraqi Legislative Election, December 2005 , the Kurdistan Islamic Union (affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood ) has left the DPAK to form a list of its own.
