Jassim Mohammed Jaafar, a leading figure in the State of Law Coalition, indicated on Sunday that the vote on the remaining cabinet positions is likely to be completed by the beginning of July. He emphasized his coalition’s commitment to the same names previously presented to Parliament.
Jaafar told the Information Agency, “The current understandings and information regarding the agreement among the political blocs and forces to complete the cabinet are proceeding smoothly and without any fundamental disagreements, with a commitment to distributing portfolios according to electoral entitlement.”
He added, “Parliament’s current legislative recess and the fact that most members are in their respective governorates is the main reason that may prevent an emergency session from being held during this period.” He predicted that “the decisive session will be held at the beginning of July after parliamentary sessions resume.”
Jaafar stressed that “the State of Law Coalition remains committed to its designated candidates for the Ministries of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Interior, who were presented in the first voting session, which was marred by doubts and controversy surrounding the vote-counting mechanism.”
