Iraqi PM, partial cabinet sworn in, lawmakers to reconvene on disputed posts
The Iraqi parliament gave its vote of confidence to 14 ministers in the new government headed by Adil Abdul-Mahdi with lawmakers disagreeing on the remaining eight ministerial posts, including the ministries of Defense, Interior, and Justice. The new Prime Minister of Iraq and his 14 ministers were sworn in during the session, attended by 220 lawmakers late on Wednesday. Candidates to lead the ministries of Interior, Defense, Planning, Higher Education, Displacement and Migration, Culture, Justice, and Education were not included in the vote. Abdul-Mahdi will have until the first week of November to complete his cabinet, which will require negotiations with various factions in the country. Parliamentary Speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi has said that MPs will reconvene on Nov. 06 to vote on the remaining ministries.
