TEHRAN - Top lawmaker Reza Abdollahi has said that the Majlis will only give its vote of confidence to competent and experienced nominees for ministerial posts and the MPs’ decisions will not be influenced by the political persuasions of the nominees.

“The point which is highly important for people’s representatives in giving confidence votes to ministers is only the qualification and experience of persons,” Reza Abdollahi, the chairman of the Majlis Budget and Planning Committee, told the Mehr News Agency.
The president has invited competent persons to cooperate with his new administration.
“It was a good statement by the president but only if he really keep his words,” Abdollahi noted.
He also said he has no information that Amir Mansoor Borqei, the vice president for planning and strategic supervision, may also be replaced.
