Lebanese President Aoun calls on the prime minister-designate to submit a cabinet plan as soon as possible

by YCPress

According to the Lebanese State News Agency, on the 22nd local time, the Presidential Press Office issued a statement calling on Prime Minister-designate Hariri to submit a cabinet formation plan as soon as possible.

According to the constitution, the president has the right to review the composition of the new government before signing the cabinet formation order.

The selection of ministers is not unilaterally decided by the prime minister-designate.

On October 22 last year, Saad Hariri won the parliamentary vote and was authorized by the president to form a new cabinet. 

According to reports, due to the fact that President Aoun and Hariri were unable to reach an agreement on the cabinet list, the formation of the cabinet was at a deadlock.

On the 19th of this month, Prime Minister Diab of the Lebanese caretaker government held talks with President Orn, Speaker Berry and Prime Minister-designate Hariri respectively to exchange views on the issue of cabinet formation and prepare for the resumption of the cabinet formation process as soon as possible.
