Some ministers have resigned.

"A certain number of ministers and vice-presidents have resigned," Abtahi told reporters after a meeting of the reformist government.
But he said those concerned would stay in their jobs to await the outcome of the re-examination of its candidate blacklist by the Guardians Council, the conservative political watchdog that has moved to bar large numbers of reformers from contesting the February 20 parliamentary polls.
"It is natural that they wait for the outcome of the work" of the Guardians Council, Abtahi said, without naming the cabinet members who had decided to resign.
