Chris Thomas announced his initial Council of Ministers yesterday
The chief minister's hinted that he's planning to add more people to his Council of Ministers.
Yesterday (Friday 16 October) Chris Thomas unveiled the new department heads, choosing a mix of experienced and new MHKs.
However, there was some surprise when a few people didn't feature in the line up.
Among those missing are his chief minister election opponent, Arbory, Castletown and Malew member Kirrie Jenkins, Onchan MHK Rob Callister who'd initially put himself forward for the top job, and his predecessor, Ayre and Michael's Alfred Cannan.
But Mr Thomas told Manx Radio he's working on a few other roles in his team:
Former chief minister calls for balanced approach to climate change action
Play 'just as important' for a child's development as technology
Manx passport applications moving online
Enterprise minister 'recognises access to cash is important'
