The Prime Minister is anticipated to reveal the remaining ministerial appointments before the upcoming parliamentary session commences on July 16. Currently, the Cabinet comprises 13 ministers, with several key portfolios, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, yet to be filled. This timeline suggests a comprehensive announcement is imminent to complete the government's executive structure.

He expressed readiness to serve in any capacity, viewing it as an honour to contribute to the nation. This confirmation comes amidst speculation about various portfolios, with Mujahid himself dismissing notions of an appointment as foreign minister.

The existing 13 ministers represent various political parties within the coalition. Notable figures include Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, president of PKR; Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, president of PPBM; Lim Guan Eng, secretary-general of DAP; and Mohamad Sabu, president of Amanah.
