About the party

A national project to build a state of institutions and law

Who we are

The Taqaddum Party is an Iraqi national political project that began in 2019, out of a conviction that building Iraq starts with a state that is strong in its institutions, just in its laws, and close to its citizens.

The party takes democratic political work as its means of reform. It places the shared Iraqi identity above lesser divisions, and commits to the constitution, to the protection of rights and freedoms, and to the principle of equal citizenship.

Taqaddum works to turn political participation into something citizens can see in their own lives — through effective legislation, sound institutions, balanced development, and public services worthy of Iraqis.

    A stable, prosperous Iraq governed by effective constitutional institutions, where citizens hold equal rights and fair opportunities, and where the state is the highest authority and the guardian of society's interests.

Our principles

  • Iraqi identity

    Iraq is a homeland shared by all its people, and citizenship is the basis of rights and duties.

  • The rule of law

    One law that applies to everyone, and an independent judiciary that protects rights and does justice.

  • National partnership

    Governing through cooperation between Iraq's political forces and components, in a way that preserves balance and stability.

  • Rights and freedoms

    Protecting constitutional freedoms and human rights, and guaranteeing political participation.
