Former PM Najib Mikati stressed that he respects the demands of the independent Sunni MPs to be represented in the cabinet, noting however that the right to forma the cabinet goes to the prime minister-designate in cooperation with the president.
On the sidelines of the legislative session on Monday, Mikati told LBCI that “this phase must pass with the minimum losses possible,” adding that the cabinet will be formed sooner or later “but if the situation remains the same the government will be unproductive.”
