Iran's Parliament (Majlis) has voted for the establishment of a new government ministry bringing to 22 the number of ministers in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's administration.
According to the ratified proposal, the new Ministry of Youth and Sports will be formed by merging the National Youth Organization and Physical Education Organization.
During the Sunday session of the Majlis, 157 lawmakers voted in favor of the plan while 44 voted against it and 11 abstained from voting.
The new legislation also requires the approval of Iran's Guardian Council to take effect as law.
The Majlis vote came nearly a week after President Ahmadinejad replaced the head of the National Youth Organization.
Many officials and experts in Iran's athletic departments have voiced concerns about the convergence of the two organizations as counterproductive, sharing the position of President Ahmadinejad's administration.
