BEIRUT - Lebanon's ambassador to Germany Mustapha Adib looks set to be designated prime minister at formal consultations on Monday after winning political backing from the main Sunni Muslim party, the Future Movement.The government led by Hassan Diab quit earlier this month following the catastrophic explosion at Beirut port that killed some 190 people.
If the designation goes ahead without last minute complications, Adib will be nominated before a visit to Beirut on Monday by French President Emmanuel Macron, who is leading efforts to press Lebanese leaders to reform. The Iran-backed Shi'ite party Hezbollah and its Shi'ite ally the Amal Movement will also nominate Adib in the consultations, a senior Shi'ite source told Reuters.
