On May 19, 1992, both Presidential elections and
Kurdistan Regional Government decided to move on without a President.[3] Instead they established an 8-man Presidency Council consisting of four members of each party.[4]
Meanwhile, they agreed on a power sharing agreement in the
Kurdistan Parliament and Council of Ministers. This power-sharing agreement broke down in 1994 and resulted in a civil war that lasted until 1998, after which Kurdistan Region was divided into a PUK-controlled zone in the southeast and a KDP-controlled zone in the northwest.[2]
