Prime Minister Saad Hariri to head new government of Lebanon, which has finally been formed eight months after the elections.

Saad al-Hariri wins backing of majority of MPs in official consultations, is expected to launch negotiations on coalition government. Since the post of Prime Minister in Lebanon is reserved for Sunni Muslims, Hariri has become a clear frontrunner for premiership.

Lebanon heads to general elections for the first time in nine years. This is the first elections to include the 82k expat voters, totaling the total registered voters at 3.6 million. This election also sees a new Electoral system in which voters will vote twice, once for coalitions and once for the candidate.

As the date for the Lebanese legislative elections nears, tensions between the parties and candidates have increased. This is the first general elections to be held in Lebanon in 9 years.
