A temporary Lebanese government was formed on 19 April 2005, after 50 days of the resignation of the Omar Karami government. The main goal of the cabinet was to supervise the 2005 Lebanese general election, so it was headed by Najib Mikati and 14 independent ministers. A total of 110 MPs supported it in a vote of confidence, 3 voted against it, and 11 were absent; at the time, the parliament contained only 126 members, following the assassinations of Rafic Hariri and Bassel Fleihan.[1][2][3]
