Premier Najib Mikati's government won an overwhelming vote of confidence Wednesday after two-days of debate, and immediately scheduled the legislative elections to begin on May 29 and continue over the following three Sundays, dated June 5, 12 and 19. The rapid developments followed the U.S. administration's warning early Wednesday against delaying Lebanon's elections beyond the constitutional timeframe of May 31, saying Speaker Nabih Berri's bid for a one-month postponement could force Lebanon down a "dangerous path leading to a constitutional crisis."But before opening the Parliamentary session and before Mikati's government won the vote of confidence, Berri denied he had proposed the elections be delayed. "I confirm to the Lebanese that the elections will begin on May 29," he said. Despite U.S. President George W. Bush's veto over Berri's alleged bid, Parliament passed what has been dubbed "a reiterated, pressing law," drafted on the spot during a legislative session, extending the current Parliament's mandate for three weeks from May 31 to June 20. The government won 110 to one with two abstentions. No other Cabinet in Lebanon's history has been given such a high vote of confidence without actually offering any specific agendas or proposals in its policy statement.
