Saad al-Hariri removes himself from consideration for prime minister

Following the elections of the speaker of the Lebanese parliament, efforts have been concentrated on electing a new Lebanese prime minister amid expectations that the former minister of finance Fouad al-Sanyoura, close to the Hariri bloc will be one of the candidates to assume this post after Saad al-Hariri ( 25 year old) alienated himself because of the lack of his experience, and what seemed to be coolness in the relations with President Emil Lahoud.
