Member of Parliament Abu Turab al-Tamimi revealed on Saturday the reasons for the delay in completing the cabinet and filling vacant executive positions, stressing that political disagreements over the nomination of deputy prime ministers represent the most significant obstacle hindering a resolution.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma, “The political scene is witnessing sharp differences in viewpoints and a clinging by some parties to their quotas and entitlements, which has delayed the completion of the cabinet formation and the filling of the remaining positions.” He explained that “negotiations are still hampered by conflicting conditions and demands regarding the distribution of deputy prime minister positions and their powers.”
He added that “the position of deputy prime minister has become an arena of competition among political forces, with each bloc striving to impose its candidates to ensure balance and influence within the executive branch.” He pointed out that “linking the completion of the vacant ministries to resolving the issue of deputy prime ministers has further complicated the situation and delayed the submission of names to Parliament for a vote.”
Al-Tamimi explained that “the continuation of acting administrations and the delay in filling sensitive positions imposes additional burdens on government performance and affects the implementation of the service and economic program,” calling for “prioritizing the national interest and intensifying dialogues between political blocs to resolve the issue of deputy prime ministers and the vacant ministerial portfolios.”
