Three former Lebanese prime ministers have endorsed Najib Mikati to become Lebanon’s next premier, more than a week after Prime Minister Saad Hariri resigned as a result of a nine-month political deadlock.
Mikati, himself a two-time former premier, received endorsements from Hariri, Fuad Siniora and Tammam Salam on Sunday, when the four held a meeting in Beirut, ahead of Monday’s scheduled selection process.
