BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Monday announced that he had provided President Michel Aoun with a “formula for achieving national unity”.
After a meeting with Aoun at Beirut’s Baabda presidential palace, Hariri told reporters that his formula — aimed at achieving consensus on the country’s next government — had not yet been revealed to political parties.
He added that consultations among the country’s main political parties were still underway, but noted that cabinet nominees had not yet been put forward.
Following parliamentary polls in May, Aoun tasked Hariri with drawing up Lebanon’s next government.
Since then, the country’s main political parties and forces have striven to reach a degree of consensus amid mutual recriminations as to who was responsible for the ongoing delay.
