Beirut: Lebanese President Michel Aoun on Monday held a short meeting with a leading businessman Najib Mikati, began receiving the support of the majority of parliamentarians later on to try to form a government.
Mikati had prime minister twice before and unlike many Lebanese leaders, she did not come from a political block or dynasty.
But like the previous candidate, Saad Al-Hariri, he faced a major challenge in navigating the structure of the division of Lebanese power to secure an agreement in the cabinet to overcome a cripple financial crisis.
While Lebanon has been carried out by the government of the guard for almost a year, because the big explosion destroys most of Beirut, the currency has collapsed, the work has disappeared and the bank has a frozen account.
Economic free was the worst crisis of Lebanon since the civil war in 1975-90.
A senior political source said on Sunday that Hezbollah, a gunman’s very armed Shiite Movement which Washington considers terrorist groups, set to nominate Mikati, and that most of the main parliamentary blocks support nominations.
Among the Mikati supporters was Hariri, who left his efforts to form a new government last week after almost 10 months failed to approve his makeup with Aoun.
In the Lebanese political system, the position of Prime Minister must be held by a Sunni Muslim, while the presidency is held by a Christian Maronite.
