KABUL - The nomination process of cabinet members is almost complete and the nominees would be introduced to parliament for approval within a few days, an aide to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah said on Tuesday.

Javed Faisal, a spokesman for Abdullah, said President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani and the CEO were committed to honouring their promise they held out at the London Conference earlier this month.

At the conference, President Ghani and Abdullah had the cabinet would be announced within four weeks.

Earlier, some sources said the president and the CEO had agreed on some cabinet nominees and Monday had been set the deadline to introduce them to parliament for a vote of confidence.

Faisal ruled out any difference of opinion between the president and the CEO over selection of some individuals as cabinet members.

However, he cited naming of professional persons the only reason behind the delay in announcing the cabinet. (Pajhwok)
