He made the remarks Sunday morning after receiving a letter by President Hassan Rouhani in which the President had introduced Ahmadabadi to Majlis as his new nominee for the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.

Larijani said Majlis will examine the issue on its Wednesday session.

Iranian MPs gave a no-confidence vote to the former Minister of Science, Research and Technology Reza Faraji-Dana on August 20.

President Rouhani then appointed Mohammad Ali Najafi as the caretaker for the ministry.
