Iraq's designated Prime Minister Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi announced Feb. 26 that the Iraqi parliament will vote to approve his Cabinet Feb. 27, saying the government will consist of independent, efficient and impartial ministers.
"Tomorrow, together — as people, as representatives, as candidates and as national political forces — we will turn the page on the quota system and look forward to a free, strong and proud Iraq," he tweeted, referring to the system implemented in 2004 that distributes political power on a sectarian basis.
