How will this play out since we know that in Iraqi culture women are not looked at as being in politics by the men. This could be an interesting swing if she gets in not sure how this will play out for the Kurds if they don't respect a woman President.

Will be interesting for sure if that played out. I could see many male Iraqis and politicians rolling over in their graves if that took place.

Would definitly show leaps and bounds of "moving forward" with the times in Iraq.
