Summary
However, he resigned the following July after political deadlock and continuing disputes with President Michel Aoun.Saad Hariri has been the leader of the Sunni-majority Future Movement party for more than 15 years, following the assassination of his father, business magnate and former prime minister Rafic Hariri in February 2005.Senior Future Movement official and former parliamentarian Mustafa Allouch told Al Jazeera that a significant factor behind Hariri’s decision is Iran-backed Hezbollah’s growing influence and political power in Lebanon, and that Future Movement officials are now divided about whether they should run for parliamentary elections on their own or not.“I will run only if in agreement with him [Hariri] and as part of a movement at a national level opposing Hezbollah,” Allouch said.
