Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has unveiled his new cabinet more than three months after being sworn into office. <br /><br /> Many government institutions have been all-but-paralyzed for a year amid a drawn-out election crisis in the country racked by Taliban violence. <br /><br /> The nominees, including three women, now need parliamentary approval.<br /><br /> The president and his election rival-turned-government partner Abdullah Abdullah have spent months wrangling over the make-up of the new cabinet, raising worries over whether their unity government could survive, let alone govern effectively.<br /><br /> Ghani has promised a reformist, corruption-fighting government made up of technocrats and free from the patronage that marked the regime of his predecessor, long-time President Hamid Karzai.
