Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun will reportedly demand a share not less than 45 percent of seats in the new Cabinet, in addition to veto power.
The daily Al Liwaa said Wednesday, citing a well-informed source, said opposition parties have asked specialized companies to provide them with a study on numerical election results "with the aim of showing a different picture of the result reached by March 14 forces."
Those parties, according to Liwaa, aim at focusing on what the opposition calls a "popular majority" and also show the Christian majority
The source said a meeting on Wednesday scheduled for Aoun”s Reform and Change bloc would touch on the opposition share in the new government.
He said Aoun, not only would seek veto power, but would also demand a share not less than 45 percent seats in the new government.
