The Gorran Movement (Kurdish: Bizûtinewey‌ Gorran / بزووتنەوەی گۆڕان, lit. Movement for Change) or just Gorran (Change) is a Kurdish political party in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.^[3] Formerly under the leadership of Omar Said Ali, it was founded in 2009 by Nawshirwan Mustafa. Gorran is the sixth largest party in the Kurdistan Region, having lost almost all of its voters (95%) since its foundation, and is now no longer represented in the Iraqi parliament.^[4][5]
