Masum joined the Iraqi Communist Party in 1962, until 1964, where he travelled to Syria to meet the Communist Party secretary there, Khalid Bakdash.

After Masum discovered Bakdash's attitudes against the Kurds, he quit the party to join the Kurdistan Democratic Party (PDK).

He earned his PhD in Islamic philosophy from Al-Azhar in 1975.

He was also the representative of the Kurdish Revolution in Cairo until 1975.

1976

Masum was one of the founders of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in 1976.

1992

By 1992, he was the first Prime Minister of Kurdistan Region.

2003

In 2003, following the invasion of Iraq, Masum returned to Baghdad to be a member of the delegation representing Kurdistan, and was a member of the constitution drafting committee.

2010

In 2010, Masum became the first Speaker of the Council of Representatives.

2014

He was elected as president following the 2014 parliamentary election.

Masum is the second non-Arab president of Iraq, succeeding Jalal Talabani, also Kurdish, and was a confidant of Talabani.

Fuad Masum was born in the city of Koya.

He was the son Mullah Masum Khider, a former head of the Association of Muslim Scholars in Kurdistan, who belongs to an established political dynasty with Muslim clerical links.

His family descends from the village of Khabanen, which is part of Hawraman.

He studied at various religious schools in Iraqi Kurdistan until the age of 18.

He studied law and Sharia at Baghdad University.

In 2014, he was elected by the parliament representatives as the seventh president of Iraq.

Masum won 211 votes while his closest competitor, Barham Salih, only received 17.

The decision was made during a secret vote of Kurdish MPs, who traditionally have control over the presidency for the sake of political balance.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was present in Iraq when the decision was made, meeting with Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki about the need for a more inclusive government.

Masum accepted the position, noting the "huge security, political and economic tasks" he faces as president.

On 26 August, Masum appointed a new prime minister, Haider al-Abadi.

Masum's appointment of Haider al-Abadi as new prime minister was considered illegal by Nouri Al-Maliki and in violation of the constitution.

Maliki said that in spite of his erosion of power it was his duty to remain in power because the appointment was a conspiracy rooted from outside of Iraq.

Al-Maliki referred the matter to the federal court claiming, "the insistence on this until the end is to protect the state."

However, on 14 August 2014, in the face of growing calls from world leaders and members of his own party, the embattled prime minister announced he was stepping down, paving the way for al-Abadi to take over.
