Salam updates Suleiman over Cabinet formation process

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam held a meeting with President Michel Suleiman at the Baabda Presidential Palace to update him on the Cabinet formation process, according to LBCI

Neither Salam nor Suleiman taled to reporters following their 30-minute meeting.

Salam is trying to form a government of 24 members with seats equally divided among the March 8 and March 14 camps and centrists and a rotation of key ministerial portfolios. The Hezbollah-led March 8 coalition insists on veto power in the Cabinet ( a share of 8 +1 members the so called blocking third), but Salam is insisting on dividing the cabinet equally between the 3 groups.
