The Parliament has held intensive sessions since last week to discuss the credentials and backgrounds of the proposed ministers for the vote of confidence.
The lawmakers are going to hold a ballot today to vote for or against the ministerial nominees.
Tuesday’s session started with debates on the credentials of Abbas Aliabadi, the nominee for the post of minister of Energy.
Less than two weeks after being sworn in as the new president of Iran, Pezeshkian submitted the list of his proposed ministerial picks to the Parliament on August 11.
In comments on Monday, the president said none of his picks has been chosen without consultations with the high-level authorities of the country.
He said his incoming administration has honored the pledge of “national consensus” and now expects the lawmakers to demonstrate their commitment in practice by giving a vote of confidence to his cabinet.
If any of the proposed ministers fails to win a vote of confidence, Pezeshkian will have up to three months to name a replacement.
The only female nominee, Farzaneh Sadeq, has been proposed to run the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.
