Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Mustapha Adib announced his resignation from his post.

Adib said: "The political consensus to form the government in Lebanon no longer exists."

On Friday Adib presented to President Michel Aoun a proposal for “distributing the ministries to various sects before setting a final formula on who will be nominated to these ministries,” sources said.

He is facing continuous pressure from Hezbollah and the Amal Movement, who have increased their demands to request that all ministerial roles be filled by Shiites, and not just the main role of finance minister.
