BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iraq’s parliament approved the cabinet presented by Prime Minister-designate Mohammed Shia al-Sudani on Thursday, state news agency INA said, ushering in a new government after more than a year of deadlock.
Sudani’s picks for 21 ministries passed during a parliament vote on the cabinet. He named Hayan Abdul Ghani as oil minister.
