Iraqi Prime Minister Spokesman said ministers from Iraqiya bloc has ended a cabinet boycott which began last December amid a political row with government.
"The prime minister welcomed the return of the ministers to accomplish the work of the government," Nouri al-Maliki’s spokesman Ali Mussawi told Agence France Press.
The bloc began a boycott of parliament and the cabinet, calling for Maliki to either respect a power-sharing deal or quit.
Authorities have charged Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, an Iraqiya member, with running a death squad.
He has been hiding out in the autonomous Kurdistan region in north Iraq, and authorities there have so far declined to have them over.
Al-Maliki has also said his deputy Saleh al-Mutlak, also an Iraqiya member should be sacked after the latter said that Maliki was "worse than Saddam Hussein."
