Lebanon Welcomes Nawaf Salam as New Prime Minister 🎉
In a significant move, Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun has appointed Nawaf Salam, the esteemed president of the International Court of Justice, as the country's new prime minister. This decision was confirmed on Monday, as reported by local TV channel Al Jadeed.
During intense consultations convened by President Aoun, Salam garnered an impressive 84 parliamentary votes, outshining former Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who secured nine votes. The remaining 35 of the 128 lawmakers chose not to nominate any candidate for the cabinet head position.
Salam's appointment marks a new chapter for Lebanon as he takes on the challenge of forming a stable government amidst the nation's ongoing political and economic challenges. 🇱🇧✨
