Supporters of resigned Minister Ashraf Rifi started raising banners across the northern city of Tripoli, denouncing former PM Saad Hariri’s decision to endorse MP Michel Aoun’s nomination for the presidency.
On Thursday, Hariri delivered a speech from Beit al-Wasat declaring his decision to endorse Aoun for the presidency, noting that common grounds were reached between both parties to defend the country, the law and to revive the public institutions.
