Parliament announced the advancement of the elections the eve an IMF delegation is set to arrive in Lebanon to discuss a negotiation mechanism with the Lebanese government over an economic and financial recovery plan. 

The negotiations between the two parties aim to reach an agreement that would allow Lebanon to receive aid from the International Monetary Fund in light of the severe economic crisis ravaging Lebanon.

The prime minister's office announced previously that President Michel Aoun appointed a delegation to negotiate with the IMF. The committee will be headed by Deputy Prime Minister Saadeh Al-Shami, and Finance Minister Youssef Khalil, and Economy Minister Amin Salam. It will also include Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh and two experts representing the President.

Once Lebanon elects a new parliament, Mikati's government will become a caretaker one until a new prime minister is elected and given a vote of confidence.
