The Komala Party of Kurdistan[1] (Kurdish: کۆمه‌ڵه‌ی زه‌حمه‌تکیشانی کوردستان, Persian: کومله زحمتکشان کردستان), also known as the Komala – Reform Faction,[2] is a Sociallist organization of Iranian Kurdistan, that the main faction is in Iraqi Kurdistan.

It split from the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan in October 2007 over internal disagreements[2] but reunited with them in November 2022.[3] after on June 21 2023, it was split from the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan over internal disagreements again.

It was led by Omar Ilkhanizade[1][2] and operated a television network named ASOsat.[4] but currently, it is led by Reza Kabi and Fariba Mohamadi.

On June 21 2023, the alliance between the group and the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan collapsed.[5] Following the collapse, the two clashed, and as a result of the infighting, two were killed and three were wounded by members of the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan.[5] The clashes took place in Zargawez in Iraq's Kurdistan Region.[5] Norway-based Kurdish human rights NGO Hengaw offered readiness to mediate between the two.[5]
