The study examined the political effects of ISIS on Kurdistan Iraqi Kurdistan or the Kurdish Autonomous Region is the KRG. The KRG officially administers the Iraqi provinces of Erbil, Dohuk, Sulaymaniyah, and Halabja while sharing internal boundaries with the Provinces of Nineveh, Ta’Min, Salahaddin, and Diyala, roughly 16,100 square miles, with an estimated population of 8.35 million. Iraqi Kurdistan shares foreign borders with Syria in the west, Turkey in the north, and Iran in the east. There is a multi-party structure in the Kurdistan Province of Iraq that has been kept up as a blueprint for political pluralism in the entire region. The existence of political parties in Kurdistan is closely linked to the role of Kurds in Iraq. The KDP was the main Kurdish political party in Iraq from the middle of the twentieth century; the PUK was founded in a later partisan split. Besides, other political parties have come into being in the last three decades, both of which have changed the features of Iraqi Kurdistan’s political structure. In comparison, Iraqi Kurdistan shares many of its major political parties’ traits, including its reliance on charismatic leadership, its focus on nationalism, and its lack of transparency. The key features of the Kurdish political parties and their effect on the political system’s structural functions in the Kurdistan Region are analyzed in this article. The political weather changed after the ISIS war. The majority of the political relationship between Kurdish parties is weak due to internal crisis. The study recommends that more should be done to protect Kurdistan Region and politics should be used as a vehicle for development.
