Lebanon president seeks to solve ‘complications’ before new PM consultations
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Leb’s president said on Saturday he will soon set a date for formal consultations with politicians to pick a new prime minister following Saad al-Hariri’s resignation this week, but is working to resolve some complications first.
President Michel Aoun
 ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
is obliged to hold a formal period of consultations with members of parliament and designate the figure with the most support as the new prime minister who will be tasked with forming a government.
Aoun has not yet set a date for those consultations to begin, but said he had been making the "necessary calls" to lay the ground for them to start.
"The challenges in front of the future government require a rapid but not hasty approach to the designation process, because rushing in such cases can have harmful consequences," the presidency media office said in a statement. The statement said Aoun needed to resolve some complications but did not elaborate.
Prime Minister Hariri resigned on Tuesday after nationwide anti-government protests.
The protests have been less intense since he resigned, but demonstrators are still on the streets, and one of their main demands is for the rapid formation of a new government led by technocrats to carry out badly needed economic reforms.
