Outgoing Lebanese PM Fuad Siniora has hinted that he is not willing to hold the post in the next cabinet, saying it is a time for a change. "I served for three years, and I believe it is somehow time for a change," 64 year old Siniora told AFP on Saturday. The parliament will elect army Chief Michel Suleiman as president on Sunday and under the constitution, the government is obliged to resign in order for the new president to appoint a new prime minister. The premier will be elected by the parliamentary majority and both leader of the bloc Saad Hariri and Siniora have so far been suggested as the March 14 candidates. "The final decision rested with the parliamentary majority and ruling bloc, which is set to deliberate in the coming days," Siniora said, adding that "But if it were up to me I would like to leave. It is somehow time for a change... It's time for me to go and seek other matters that have to do with public affair."
Earlier, informed sources suggested that if Hariri is elected Prime Minister, Siniora will travel to Jordan and then assume a post in the World Bank.
