The appointments were submitted to Parliament for approval following the announcement. Prior to the parliamentary vote, the Government Oversight Committee conducted a thorough review, unanimously endorsing the qualifications and experience of each candidate. 

The process followed constitutional requirements mandating parliamentary approval for changes to the cabinet. After the committee’s endorsement, Parliament held a voting session to confirm the appointments, resulting in their official approval.
