Al-Sudani asks Iraq’s parliament to vote on the new cabinet

The Iraqi Prime Minister-designate, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, had filed an official request for the Parliament Presidium to hold a voting session on the new cabinet on October 27, a reliable political source revealed on Tuesday.

The leaders of the Coordination Framework (CF) have convened a meeting at Haidar Al-Abadi’s residence to agree on a final lineup of Mohammad Shiyaa al-Sudani’s cabinet, a source from inside the Shiite forces consortium said earlier today.

“The meeting is crucial to agree on a distribution of the ministerial portfolios entitled to the Shiite component,” the source, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Shafaq News Agency.

“Of course, the potential candidates are deliberated with the prime minister-designate,” the source added.
