Fourth Cabinet of Khayreddin Ahdab

A national unity government was formed on 30 October 1937, headed by Khayreddin al-Ahdab, and composed of four National Bloc members and three from the Constitutional Bloc.[1] It won the confidence of the parliament with a majority of 56 votes. On 8 January 1938, Salim Takla, Majid Arslan and Habib Abou Chahla resigned, so President Émile Eddé replaced them with three Nationals. The decision faced opposition from the Constitutionals, and requested re-discussion of the confidence. This would lead to the Fifth Cabinet of Khayreddin Ahdab on 13 January.[2]
