Title: Names "Departed" and New Ones... What Composition Did Mikati Present?

Title: Names

The MTV website learned that the composition handed by the designated Prime Minister Najib Mikati to the President is based on his current government, with some modifications in certain portfolios. Mikati proposed a name for the Ministry of Energy and Water from a specialist who is not close to the Free Patriotic Movement, and a name for the Ministry of Economy and Trade from Beirut figures close to civil society. While Mikati retained Minister Abbas Halabi in the Ministry of Education, the second Druze name he proposed is Ms. Inas Jarmoukani. Mikati also kept the Minister of Finance position vacant, waiting for an agreement on the name with the Speaker of the Parliament, Nabih Berri. Informed sources expected Mikati's composition to face rejection from the President, noting that some cadres within the Free Patriotic Movement have begun an attack on the designated Prime Minister and his composition via social media.
