Speaker Nabih Berri stressed that the discussions held regarding the cabinet formation process are progressing positively, noting that some obstacles have appeared but were overcome quickly. He hoped that the cabinet will be announced before Independence Day.
During Wednesday’s deputies gathering in Ain al-Tineh, Berri pointed out that “all the factions want the cabinet to be formed as soon as possible so that work can kick off to handle the citizens’ affairs, as well as to pass a new electoral law, which must be on top of the government’s priorities.”
For his part, MP Qassem Hashem said that the cabinet will be announced within the 48 or 72 upcoming hours if the latest obstacles were surpassed.
