Deputy Firas Hamdan on Thursday named Nawaf Salam on behalf of ten “Forces of Change” Deputies while Cynthia Zarazir, Halima Kaakour, and Elias Jeradeh refrained from nomination.

“Discussions with the President Michel Aoun  touched on 80% of Lebanese below the poverty line, the infrastructure on the verge of collapse, and the people struggling around the clock for a living,” Hamdan said.

He also stressed the need to put an economic rescue plan and hold those responsible for the crises accountable.

While Deputies Ibrahim Mneimneh, Paula Yacoubian, Melhem Khalaf, Waddeh Sadek, Ramy Finge, Michel Douaihy, Mark Daou, Najat Aoun, Firas Hamdan and Yassin Yassin voted for Nawaf Salam; Halimé El Kaakour, Cynthia Zarazir and Elias Jaradeh did not vote for anyone in the prime minister-designate race.
