Former Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said that former heads of government had agreed to nominate Ambassador Mustafa Adib as a candidate to head the Lebanese government.
For its part, Reuters quoted a senior Shiite political source as confirming that the Hezbollah bloc and the Amal Movement will call Adeeb head of the government in the parliamentary consultations tomorrow.
Reuters added that the Future Movement, led by Saad Hariri, is also planning to nominate Adeeb, who is Lebanon's ambassador to Germany.
Former heads of government Saad Hariri, Fouad Siniora, Najib Mikati and Tamam Salam held a meeting to discuss the issue of prime minister, and the Future Movement parliamentary bloc will hold a meeting this evening to discuss the name of its candidate.
Contacts and political meetings in Lebanon intensify to reach a settlement regarding the name of a candidate to head the government, provided that he will be assigned tomorrow in the binding parliamentary consultations, which will be conducted by President Michel Aoun.
The parliamentary blocs will participate in the binding consultations in the Republican Palace, starting from nine o'clock tomorrow morning, in order to choose a figure to form the government.
The explosion at the Beirut port, specifically inside Ward No. 12 - where about 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate had been stored for more than 6 years - prompted Hassan Diab's government to resign on the tenth of August.
