ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Iraq’s parliament is ready for a vote of confidence on the next cabinet, a parliament official said Saturday, adding that the session will most likely take place Monday or Tuesday after all the political leaders have been invited.

Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi on Thursday released his program for the upcoming cabinet and delivered it to parliament speaker Haibat al-Halbousi.

“The Council of Representatives [parliament] has completed all preparations for holding the session to vote on the cabinet,” Safwan Bashir Younis al-Gargari, Secretary-General of the parliament, told state media.

“We are waiting for the Speaker of Parliament to set a date for the session, whether it will be on Monday or Tuesday,” he added.

The premier-designate is bound by the Iraqi constitution to present his cabinet within 30 days of his appointment as prime minister-designate on April 27.

Zaidi was named as the ruling Shiite Coordination Framework’s candidate to succeed outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani, after months of discord between the bloc’s leaders, and a veto on former premier Nouri al-Maliki by the US after he was nominated for the top post.

Holding a master’s degree in Finance and Banking, Zaidi is widely seen as a compromise figure and is relatively unknown in the Iraqi political sphere.
