The task of Kurdistan's Prime Minister-designate Masrour Barzani on Sunday in Sulaymaniyah, where he is set to discuss government formation, "will not be easy"; as he will face many demands from the parties mainly constituting the new government, a political source said.

During his visit to Sulaymaniyah, Barzani is set to hold talks with leaders from the Gorran Movement and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

The political bureau of the PUK formed a committee to discuss with Barzani the demands of the party, including choosing a new governor for Kirkuk, the source said, adding that the PUK requires the achievement of partnership and balance in the government institutions.
