Isa Kahraman (born 1 April 1974) is a Syriac-born Dutch politician of New Social Contract (NSC) who was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2023 general election. His portfolio included veterans, foreign religious minorities, defence, and development cooperation before the latter two were replaced by foreign policy and international culture policy following the swearing in of the Schoof cabinet. [1] [2] He is of Assyrian origin, having arrived in the Netherlands as a child. He lives in Rijssen, Overijssel. [3] [4]
From 2006 to 2018, he served three terms as a municipal councillor of Rijssen-Holten on behalf of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA). From 2009 onwards, he led the CDA in the municipal council.
Kahraman filed a parliamentary motion in March 2024 to postpone talks with Bosnia and Herzegovina about a potential accession to the European Union (EU). The motion was defeated by a narrow margin, while Prime Minister Mark Rutte had indicated in advance that he would not veto the talks to avoid alienating the Netherlands within the EU. [5]
