A Pakistani lawmaker says the country's new government will name Cabinet ministers shortly.

Lawmaker Ahsan Iqbal said a 23-member Cabinet would be announced. Followers of slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto are expected to get key slots. They hold the most seats in parliament and named a prime minister last week.

Three other parties are part of a ruling coalition.

The new government is dominated by foes of U.S.-backed President Pervez Musharraf.
