The former prime minister, MP Saad Hariri, announced Tuesday he would not run for premiership, asking political forces to stop proposing his name in this regard.
” I declare that I am not a candidate to head the new government and I call on everyone to withdraw my name from the deliberations in this regard.”
“The only starting point is for the President of the Republic to respect the constitution and immediately call for binding parliamentary consultations in accordance with Article 53, and that the heresy of composing the government before designating the Prime Minister ceases once and for all.”
