Officials in Iraq\'s Kurdistan Region say they\'re making progress with forming the new government following September\'s elections. Kurdistan\'s main opposition party - the Change Movement - came second in the elections. The party has now agreed to join the government with the winning Kurdistan Democratic Party. The Change Movement and the Democratic Party have enough seats to form a majority. But Kurdistan\'s Islamic parties are also trying to join the new government. It\'s unclear who will take on the role of the opposition. The Change Movement is still discussing details of the new government with Kurdistan\'s Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani. The Democratic Party\'s historical partner - the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan - will also join the new government - despite its third place finish in the elections.
