Shafaq cites source on two possible Kirkuk governor candidates

An unnamed political source told Shafaq News that Mardin Kok Kaya and Qahtan al-Wandawi are being considered as Kirkuk governor candidates following Mohammed Samaan Agha's move to the federal cabinet. The source describes a political agreement allocating the remaining term to Turkmen representation. No official nomination record, council vote or successor appointment was independently established.

Çavkanî çi diyar dikin

Shafaq's unnamed political source is the sole inspected account of the candidates and claimed allocation agreement. No independent nomination document, council decision or direct response from the prospective candidates was obtained; the report does not establish a successor. The Turkmen label reflects the report's explicit community-representation context, not identity inferred from names or party membership. Publication-minute dating is not a resignation or election time.
