Abdul-Mahdi to Announce Cabinet Line-up This Week

ERBIL — The incoming prime minister of Iraq, Adil Abdul-Mahdi, is expected to announce the line-up of his new cabinet on Wednesday this week, a media source said.

The list of suggested ministers would be presented at the parliament for legislative’s vote, according to Shafaq News. However, it will only consist of 15 ministers.

Reports revealed that the main ministries of oil, finance, interior affairs, foreign affairs, planning, and defense would be finalized later as political factions have not yet reached an agreement on who will be appointed to the positions.

It is claimed that Abdul-Mahdi’s cabinet will at least have 11 to 13 ministers without political affiliation to a certain political party, what the cabinet insists to name as “technocrats”.
