officials, during which his views have coincided with theirs, reported the Central News Agency on Wednesday.

On January 24, during the period of parliamentary consultations to elect a new premier, he announced the dissolution of the Democratic Gathering bloc and the formation of the National Struggle Front, which later nominated Najib Miqati to the premiership.
