Saairun Alliance MP Qusay Mohsen on Sunday said that Saairun and Fatah Alliance have agreed to vote on candidates of the remaining ministries in Adil Abd al-Mahdi's government, during the first week of the next legislative term.

Fatah Alliance's candidate for the Interior Ministry Faleh al-Fayadh will not be introduced to the parliament anymore to be voted on, Mohsen added.

Abd al-Mahdi has worked on completing the formation of his government since he took post last October.

On October 24, Abd al-Mahdi managed to get the parliamentary approval on 14 out of 22 ministries. However disagreement between political blocs especially on security ministries have thwarted Abd al-Mahdi's efforts to complete the cabinet in a short time.

While Fatah Alliance has frequently tried to force the others to accept Fayadh as the interior ministry candidate, Muqtada al-Sadr affirmed his rejection to Fayadh and other partisan candidate for interior ministry.
