Deputy Prime Minister Talabani was born in 1977 in a family that has been involved in Kurdish politics for decades. His father, Jalal Talabani, was the President of  Iraq from 2006 until 2014. He obtained a Diploma in Motor Vehicle Engineering at Carshalton College and later received a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University in Greater London. 

He was first sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister of the 8th  KRG Cabinet in June 2014 during an immensely difficult time, as the Kurdistan region was in the midst of a severe financial crisis and the Islamic State was rampaging its way throughout Iraq. During this period, DPM Talabani successfully oversaw a package of KRG reforms which saved the KRG millions of dollars monthly.
