Member of the State of Law Coalition, MP Othman Al-Shaibani, revealed on Monday evening the date for the vote on completing the formation of the ministerial cabinet.
Al-Shaibani said in a post on his Facebook page, which was reviewed by Shafaq News Agency, that “the session on 10/8 will be the date for voting on completing the formation of the ministerial cabinet.”
The Iraqi parliament postponed a session scheduled for next Thursday to complete the cabinet formation until next week, according to an informed source who told Shafaq News Agency. The source also confirmed that the postponement came as a result of continued disagreements over the candidates for the ministries of Labor and Social Affairs, Youth and Sports, and Planning, Reconstruction and Housing.
An informed source revealed to Shafaq News Agency yesterday, Sunday, that the State of Law Coalition, led by Nouri al-Maliki, officially nominated Yasser Sakheel for the Ministry of Interior portfolio, and Haider Bahaa, who currently serves as Dean of the College of Pharmacy at Al-Nahrain University, for the Ministry of Higher Education portfolio.
