Ahmadinejad to unveil new Cabinet
IRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose disputed
re-election plunged the nation into its worst crisis since the Islamic
revolution, is to unveil his cabinet on Wednesday facing an uphill
battle to win parliament's approval.
He announced on Sunday that he planned to have at least three women
in his 21-member government, a first in the 30-year history of the
Islamic republic, as he disclosed the names of six ministerial nominees.
But some of his choices have already run into objections from MPs,
who have complained about the lack of consulation and charged that some
of the proposed ministers do not have the right experience and
credentials.
