Iran-Ahmadinejad-Vaziri Hamaneh
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Sunday introduced the current caretaker of the Oil Ministry Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh as his new nominee for the oil portfolio.
Ahmadinejad's letter was submitted to Majlis Presiding Board by Vice-President for Parliamentary Affairs Ahmad Moussavi.
Talking to reporters after presenting the letter, Moussavi said he predicted the president's fourth nominee would manage to secure the MPs vote of confidence.
President Ahmadinejad first named Ali Saeedlou as his nominee for the portfolio but he was rejected by the Majlis.
The president's second nominee, Sadeq Mahsouli, withdrew before the Majlis took a vote of confidence.
Majlis on November 23 gave vote of no confidence to the third proposed oil minister, Mohsen Tasalloti.
