The Lebanese House Speaker Nabih Berri rejected Tuesday Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s proposal for turning the convening legislative session into a confidence session.

Meanwhile, the parliament endorsed a bill which aims to extend the mandate of municipal and mukhtar councils for a period of one year.

The House has also approved the student dollar law and the funds to cover the upcoming legislative elections’ expenses.

After endorsing a number of draft laws, Speaker Berri adjourned the parliament’s plenary session due to lack of quorum.
