Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has submitted a list of his proposed new cabinet ministers to the country's Parliament (Majlis), Press TV reported.
The president unveiled his 21-member cabinet late on Wednesday.
Parliament Members will examine the list from August 23 before they hold a confidence vote on August 30.
The list includes three women to head the ministries of health, social welfare and education.
After winning a hotly disputed election in Iran, Ahmadinejad took his oath of office before the Parliament on August 5.
The president's disputed re-election was met with opposition from other presidential candidates as mass rallies were held across the country with protestors dubbing the polls as rigged.
Vice Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Reza Bahonar said on Thursday it was likely that several of the ministers would be rejected by the assembly.
"Some of my colleagues and I ... believe that close to five ministers proposed by Mr. Ahmadinejad will not receive a vote of confidence," he said, without giving the names of the ministers.
He also predicted that the rest of the proposed ministers would be approved only by a narrow margin.
