Voting on vacant ministries soon, Fayadh excluded: Saairun MP
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.
