FPM asks for seven ministers in next cabinet
Incumbent Social Affairs Minister Mario Aoun said on Tuesday that the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) was asking for seven ministers in the next cabinet.
"Regardless of the seats our allies get, because this number will barely be enough for the FPM to implement its reform projects," he told New TV during a morning interview.
Aoun said that the FPM was open to all suggestions, and stressed the need to establish a national unity cabinet. He added that the constitution "does not specify that those who are defeated in the elections cannot become ministers."
