On Saturday, they decide on vice premiers, state councilors, government ministers, governor of the central bank and chief auditor, who form the Cabinet.
The candidate for premier will be proposed by the newly elected president and Cabinet members will be proposed by the newly appointed premier.
Vice chairpersons and members of the CMC will be nominated by the newly elected CMC chairman.
Nearly 3,000 lawmakers will cast votes in a total of nine ballots, six to elect and three to appoint. They can vote for, against or abstain from voting. If they are against the presented candidate, they can choose another one and write his or her name on the ballot.
