TEHRAN – A member of the presiding board of the Hope parliamentary faction has criticized the Rouhani administration for not seeking the faction’s advice before proposing new ministers to the parliament for approval.

“We have grievances against the administration because it has not turned to the Hope faction and the reformists for advice before naming the new ministers,” said Mohammad-Reza Tabesh, ISNA reported on Sunday.

Tabesh said the faction will soon announce its final take on the ministerial nominees.

He added that the administration is in serious need of competent ministers to save the country from the current “critical” conditions.
