Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has begun an evaluation process of his cabinet, a source close to him told Shafaq News Agency on Wednesday.
A source close to Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi said that talk of al-Zaidi intending to make a cabinet reshuffle is not currently on the table, and at the same time the performance of all ministers is being evaluated, and al-Zaidi is constantly being informed of it through his own team.
The source added that al-Zaydi will not hesitate to replace any minister who he believes has failed or been unsuccessful in performing his duties, or who is under suspicion, indicating that he has informed all Iraqi political forces of this matter, which authorized him to make any ministerial changes that he deems appropriate for his government.
He indicated that the idea of a cabinet reshuffle is not currently on the table, while the performance of all ministers continues to be evaluated.
The Iraqi parliament had granted confidence to the government of Ali Faleh al-Zaidi and its ministerial program on May 14, 2026, during a session attended by 270 members of parliament, in which it voted on 14 ministers.
On October 15, 2026, the Council voted to complete the government formation, approving three deputy prime ministers and 11 ministers for the vacant and newly created ministries, in the presence of 261 members of parliament, and the new officials took the constitutional oath before the Council.
