He is from Tripoli, has a doctorate of law and political science from Montpellier university. He is married to a French citizen.

3/The first candidate for PM was Saad Hariri who had the support of Nabih Berri.

Hariri did not want to be part of a government that includes Bassil. At the same time Aoun didn& #39;t accept a Hariri lead government without Bassil in it.

He submitted with Mikati, Siniora, and Tammam Salam a list of 3 names to Aoun, Hezbollah, and Berri.

Adib being close to Mikati and somewhat central was accepted by both Aoun and Hezbollah.
