Holding the Congress
On December 11, 2010, under the slogan of "Renewal, Justice, Coexistence", was held in Erbil, in the presence of 350 personalities, including President Jalal Talabani, he former president of Repubilc of Iraq. President Masoud Barzani awarded the Barzani Immortality Medal to Gwen Roberts, a journalist who is a friend of the Kurds.
Eight committees were formed to conduct the work of the congress, including the Program Committee, the Rules Committee, the General Organization Committee, the Finance Committee, the Complaints Committee, the Media Committee, the Peshmerga Committee and the Committee of Professional and Mass Organizations. At the congress, a 10% requirement for women's membership in the KDP leadership council was set, in the third gate of Chapter 22 of Article 217 of the program and in Article 17, paragraph 2, point 2 of the rules of procedure. For the first time in the history of KDP, the previlage of participation for women was implemented at the 13th Congress. It should be noted that only one woman was elected as a member of the Central Committee in the fifth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth congresses.
The structure of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) based on the rules of procedure of the 13th Congress was as follows: Base, Organizational Committee, Regional Committee, Branch Committee, Provincial Leadership Council, Leadership Council, Political Bureau, Secretary of Political Bureau, Vice President and President. The monitoring and follow-up committees were also appointed by the Leadership Council and approved by the president.
At this congress, two new terms were introduced into the KDP structure: the first is Base, which previously was cell or the main cell, or a mixture of both, the second one was the Leadership Council, which until 2018 was only in Erbil, Sulaimani, Kirkuk-Garmyan provinces, which included the scope of activities in Kirkuk, Diyala and part of Sulaimani. For some unkown reason, Duhok and Mosul were still governed in the old way, although Duhok was within the Kurdistan Region. Baghdad province was excluded from this system, and Europe and the United States, which had two branches, remained the same.
The most outstanding institution of the KDP after this congress was the Council of Experts, appointed by the leadership council and established under Article 15 of the rules of procedure. Therefore, due to the importance of its functions, this article consists of four paragraphs and several points. As mentioned earlier, a similar council was registered in the rules of procedure in 1993, at the eleventh congress of KDP under the name of “Advisory Council”.
