Report: Aoun, FPM may pick some caretaker ministers for new govt.

The Free Patriotic Movement may choose “some ministers from the caretaker cabinet to represent it in the new government, including Saadeh al-Shami and all those President (Michel) Aoun cares about, in order to facilitate the formation of a new government,” sources close to Aoun told al-Jadeed TV.

Other sources told the TV network that contacts were held between PM-designate Najib Mikati and each of the Lebanese Forces and the FPM during the period that preceded Mikati’s designation to form a new government.

The contacts were aimed at “paving the way for the (government) formation stage,” al-Jadeed added.
