Shafaq News- Baghdad<\/p>\n
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has received authorization from
\nthe Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), the country’s largest parliamentary
\nbloc, to advance efforts to fill the remaining vacant cabinet posts.<\/p>\n
CF member Amer al-Fayez told Shafaq News on Saturday that al-Zaidi
\nis working with political parties participating in the government to identify
\ncandidates for the unfilled ministries. Once consensus is reached, the nominees
\nwill be submitted to the Framework for approval. <\/p>\n
Al-Fayez noted that parliament is currently in legislative recess,
\nmeaning completion of the cabinet lineup would require an extraordinary session
\nconvened by Speaker Haibet al-Halbousi. Otherwise, lawmakers are expected to
\ntake up the matter after the recess ends in early July.<\/p>\n
Parliament approved al-Zaidi’s government and ministerial program
\non May 14, granting confidence to 14 ministers, while voting on the remaining
\nnine cabinet posts was postponed amid disputes over their allocation.<\/p>\n
