Report: March 8 Mulling to Replace Miqati with Another Personality
The March 8 forces led by Hizbullah are mulling to replace Premier-designate Najib Miqati with another personality, al-Liwaa newspaper reported Wednesday.
Sources told the daily that mainly Hizbullah and Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun are planning to find a candidate for the premiership who is neither a March 14 foe nor unwanted by March 8.
The sources refused to say whether they were mulling to nominate former Minister Mohammed Safadi or any other Sunni politician.
But Miqati told his visitors on Tuesday that he would not give up his task of forming the cabinet despite the difficulties.
Sources close to him also denied that the premier-designate had traveled “anywhere since his nomination.”
The denial came in response to Aoun’s accusation that Miqati had traveled to London.
