Attempt to form a government
After Adib's nomination for the country's new Prime Minister was approved by ex-Prime Ministers Saad Hariri , Fouad Siniora , Najib Miqati, Tammam Salam and the Lebanese Future Movement Party , he was appointed on August 30, 2020 and elected the following day. His predecessor Hassan Diab resigned after the explosion in Beirut , in the wake of the ongoing economic crisis in Lebanon and the ongoing protests in Lebanon .
Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Adib resigned on September 26, 2020, almost a month after being appointed head of cabinet. According to Lebanese government circles, the main reason for Adib's resignation is the dispute between Lebanese parties over the appointment of finance minister.
