President Pezeshkian to Address Parliament for Ministerial Nominees
The spokesman for the parliament’s presiding board announced that President Pezeshkian will defend his ministerial nominees in a session tomorrow. The president will have two and a half hours to make his case to the Parliament.
Last week, debates began on the credentials of 18 individuals on the short list for the cabinet. Formal votes of confidence are scheduled for next week. President Pezeshkian submitted his proposed list of ministers on August 11, shortly after his inauguration.
If any nominee fails to secure a confidence vote, the president has three months to name a replacement. The formal sessions for the vote of confidence will last several days.
This pivotal moment in Iranian politics will shape the future of the country under President Pezeshkian’s leadership. Stay tuned for updates on the parliamentary session and the fate of the ministerial nominees.
