Editor's Take:
Rashid's career runs from engineering to the head of state, an unusual route in Iraqi politics. For years he worked as an irrigation specialist and represented Kurdish and Iraqi opposition groups in Britain during Saddam Hussein's rule. After 2003 his technical background suited the water portfolio, which covered irrigation, flood control and marsh restoration. His election as president in 2022 followed a long deadlock, and he named a prime minister straight away. The post is largely shaped by the Muhasasa sharing arrangement, which reserves the presidency for a Kurd.
