They argue that because the list was first rubberstamped by Iraq`s main political parties, it upholds the system of ethnic and sectarian quotas instituted after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, which critics say allowed certain groups to amass more wealth and influence than others.
The dissenting MPs want Abadi to stick to an initial line-up of non-partisan technocrats he presented on March 31.
Speaker Salim al-Jabouri confirmed on his official website that the voting would proceed during Thursday`s session, which begins at 0800 GMT (11 a.m. local time).
Abadi will take part in the session, Jabouri said. The plans for a government overhaul come as Iraqi forces mount a campaign to recapture the northern city of Mosul from Islamic State militants.
Jabouri did not say on his website which of the two lists Abadi will present for the vote, but local TV channels reported on Thursday that he may ask MPs to choose between them, or to consider a third alternative.
