I Will Not Take Part in Government if Opposition Wins
MP Rafik Hariri reiterated that he will not take part in a new government in the event the Hizbullah-led Opposition wins parliamentary elections.
"I”m doing everything possible to avert a sectarian rift in Lebanon," Hariri told Al Jazeera television network.
"We were the ones who quelled a sectarian rift that was sowed against Lebanon during the early days following the assassination of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. And we were the ones who quelled the May 7 (2008) discord," Hariri said.
He said if the majority March 14 coalition wins the June 7 elections, he would give President Michel Suleiman the right to be an arbitrator.
Hariri rejected veto power, stressing on partnership without veto power.
"I will not take part in the government if the opposition wins, even if I were tasked with forming a new government," he told Al Jazeera.
