Title: Mikati: We Hope to Form a New Government Soon

Prime Minister Najib Mikati, at the beginning of the Cabinet session, noted that the number of voters in the elections abroad was relatively large compared to the number registered, but he expressed a wish that the number of registered voters had been greater. He added, "With just three days until the general elections at home, we hope that they will also take place in a complete manner with integrity, transparency, and freedom. On this occasion, I reiterate my call for everyone to participate in casting their votes and to fulfill their national duty because we cannot revert to criticism if we have failed to play our role as voters." He continued, "What we are doing in the government is the natural role of managing state affairs, knowing the difficulties we face and the overall economic situation. We do not want to burden the citizen with any additional burdens, and at the same time, we want to continue to operate public facilities as necessary. In this context, we also hope to expedite the assignment of a new Prime Minister and the formation of a new government as soon as possible."
