Shafaq News / Parliament Rapporteur, Khadija Ali said on Tuesday that a session of parliament is likely to be held next Thursday to give confidence to the remaining ministries in the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, while noting that the Prime Minister confirmed the cabinet submission before Eid Al-Fitr.

“The Prime Minister mentioned two days ago that he would submit the full ministerial cabinet to the parliament before Eid al-Fitr," noting that "the Presidency did not inform members of Parliament on the date of the session”, Ali told Shafaq News Agency.

"It is possible that the parliament session would be held to give confidence to the remaining ministries in the government next Thursday, according to Al-Kadhimi’s pledge to MPs to complete the cabinet."

The Iraqi parliament voted to grant confidence in the ministerial curriculum to the government of Mustafa Al-Kadhimi and 15 ministers in the cabinet after midnight of Wednesday, May 6, but five candidates did not gain confidence, as they are the Ministries of Trade, Agriculture, Culture and Immigration and Justice.

The parliament also postponed voting on the candidates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Oil until another time, due to the lack of agreement to nominate the candidates.
