Opposition MPs announced Saturday evening their decision to nominate MP Fouad Makhzoumi to form the next government at the binding parliamentary consultations with President Joseph Aoun scheduled on Monday.
“In line with the new phase in Lebanon, launched by the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, in his swearing-in speech, and in which he outlined the rescue plan for the Lebanese state that requires a new approach in its management, the representatives of the opposition forces met this evening and decided to nominate MP Fouad Makhzoumi and recommend him in the binding parliamentary consultations next Monday,” the parliamentarians said in a short communique.
Other parliamentary blocs, including the Democratic Gathering Bloc led by the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP), will hold meetings on Sunday to discuss their choice of a candidate to head the next cabinet.
A day after the election on Thursday, the General Secretariat of the Presidency announced that President Joseph Aoun will hold parliamentary consultations on Monday to appoint the next Prime Minister tasked with forming a new government.
