Lebanese President Michel Aoun has said it would be "impossible" for him
to resign following calls for him to leave office over the deadly
explosion in Beirut.
His comments came after the Lebanese government stepped down on Monday
night in the wake of the blast that killed more than 170 people and
injured more than 6,000 others.
Speaking about the possibility of his resignation, Aoun said in a
recorded interview with French network BFM Saturday: "This is
impossible, because this would lead to a power vacuum. The government
resigned. Let's imagine that I was to resign. Who would ensure the
continuity of power?
"If I were to resign, one would need to organize elections right away.
But the current situation in the country does not allow the
organizations of such elections," he added.
