Najat Al-Tai, a leader in the Al-Azm Alliance, confirmed on Saturday that the vote on the remaining ministerial portfolios in Ali Al-Zidi’s government will be decided during the next week or the week after at the latest, while she indicated that her alliance had submitted its candidates for two ministries that it was entitled to.
Al-Ta’i explained in her interview with Al-Ma’louma that “the recent meetings that brought together representatives of the important political parties in the Iraqi scene resulted in important agreements, most notably the agreement to proceed with the vote on nine ministerial portfolios in Ali Al-Zidi’s government,” expecting that “a session of the House of Representatives will be scheduled during the next week or the week after, and a vote will be held on the candidates for the nine ministries.”
She added that “the Al-Azm Alliance has submitted its candidates for the Ministries of Planning and Culture, as they are its entitlement,” denying “the bloc’s backtracking on its entitlement, as it is an agreement that was signed by all political parties during the consultations to form Ali Al-Zidi’s government.”
Al-Ta’i confirmed that “the coming days will be crucial in completing Ali al-Zaidi’s cabinet and resolving the issue of the remaining ministerial portfolios.”
