Independent Iraqi politician Abu Mithaq Al-Masari told Shafaq News that the number represents more than half of the cabinet lineup and could secure parliamentary approval for Al-Zaidi to assume office if the ministers are formally passed without delay, local Iraqi news website Shafaq News reported.<\/p>\n
According to preliminary information obtained by Shafaq News, the proposed cabinet includes Reber Ahmed for foreign affairs, Omar Al-Waeli for interior, Yassin Al-Ethawi for planning, Mohammed Nouri for industry, Badr Al-Fahal for culture, Khaled Shawani for justice, Sarwa Abdul Wahid for environment, Nozad Hadi for reconstruction, and Muqdad Al-Jumaili for education.<\/p>\n
Deputy prime minister positions are expected to go to Fuad Hussein, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, and Muthanna Al-Samarrai.<\/p>\n
A source within the Sunni National Political Council told Shafaq News that the defense ministry has been informally settled in favor of Al-Hasm Alliance led by Thabet Mohammed Al-Abbasi following intra-Sunni agreements.<\/p>\n
The source added that several ministries remain under negotiation among Shiite factions, particularly the oil ministry, which is being contested by the State of Law Coalition led by Nouri Al-Maliki, the Reconstruction and Development Coalition associated with caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, and the Al-Hikma (Wisdom) Movement led by Ammar Al-Hakim.<\/p>\n
Negotiations also continue over sensitive security positions and appointments to independent bodies, with some business-linked figures who failed to cross the electoral threshold reportedly being considered for senior posts, including Baghdad governor and positions within the National Investment Commission.<\/p>\n
A parliamentary source previously told our agency that political factions had reached an agreement to pass Al-Zaidi\u2019s government this week before lawmakers depart for Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) rituals.<\/p>\n
Al-Zaidi submitted his government program to Parliament Speaker Haibet Al-Halbousi on May 7 ahead of the confidence session, while President Nizar Amedi officially tasked him with forming a government on April 27 following his nomination by the Coordination Framework to succeed Al-Sudani.<\/p>\n
