Lebanese PM-Designate Mustapha Adib Fails to Form Government

By Staff, Agencies

Lebanon's prime minister-designate Mustapha Adib stepped down after failing to form a cabinet.

Adib quit on Saturday after almost a month of efforts to line up a non-partisan cabinet.

He said that he has stepped down due to the disagreement of political parties with his conditions for forming a cabinet.

Mustapha Adib added that he wanted the formation of a cabinet not to be politicized, but this condition was not met in the process of forming a new government.
