  • Iraqi premier Mustafa Kadhemi formally took office early Thursday after parliament approved a partial cabinet, taking the reins amid a fiscal crisis and health pandemic. A total of 255 of parliament's 329 members took part in the vote, which was scheduled to take place at 9:00pm local but began well after midnight after last-minute changes to appease political parties. They approved 15 ministers out of a prospective 22-seat cabinet, with seven ministries still empty. Among the names passed were sensitive portfolios including the ministers of finance, interior, defence, health, electricity and others. Army chief of staff Othman al-Ghanemi will become Interior Minister and the national football team's ex-coach Adnan Dirjal passed as Youth and Sports Minister. Ali Allawi, a former minister and university professor, will take over as Finance Minister. Parliament rejected Kadhemi's nominees for trade, culture, justice, agriculture and immigration, and did not vote on the sensitive oil or foreign affairs posts, delaying them for another session. Kadhemi was nominated in April, months after his predecessor Adel Abdel Mahdi stepped down -- the first time a premier has resigned before the end of his term since the US-led invasion 2003. The new government is set to hold early elections, but Kadhemi admitted it would face a litany of other challenges: navigating an economic crisis spurred by oil price crashes and the deadly coronavirus pandemic. "I am honoured and privileged to be charged with forming the government during the transitional period and having to deal with the current crises that only exacerbated since the overthrow of the authoritarian regime in 2003," he told gathered MPs. bur-mjg/spm
