Al-Ahad TV published a graphic this evening quoting Adnan Faihan, first deputy speaker of parliament, saying the nominee for deputy prime minister is Dr Laith al-Khazali, that anyone objecting to him should stay away from political grandstanding, that disagreements over completing the cabinet persist, and that names for the vacant ministries will soon reach parliament. The identification rests on a single channel's on-screen text; visual review could not independently confirm the speaker's identity.

“Our nominee for the post of deputy prime minister is Dr Laith al-Khazali; whoever objects to the person of Dr Laith al-Khazali should stay away from political grandstanding; disagreements over completing the cabinet are still present.”
مرشحنا لمنصب نائب رئيس الوزراء هو الدكتور ليث الخزعلي؛ من يعترض على شخص الدكتور ليث الخزعلي عليه الإبتعاد عن المزايدات السياسية؛ الخلافات حول استكمال الكابينة الوزارية حاضرة حتى الآن
a competing nominee named by another Shia bloc; the vacant-ministry names actually reaching parliament; any faction channel objecting to Laith al-Khazali by name; or a statement establishing which bloc Faihan speaks for. Any of these moves this file.
