Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri's estranged older brother says he hopes upcoming elections in crisis-hit Lebanon will bring about a new generation of leaders, adding that he'll do whatever he can to bring about positive change and accountability for past corruption.

Bahaa Hariri also describes the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, calling it part of the country's “failed past.”

Mired in financial troubles and having lost Saudi Arabia's political support, the former premier announced he was leaving politics and would not run in the elections, calling on his political movement, the Future Movement, to take the same step. Bahaa Hariri's name was first mentioned in Lebanese media reports as a possible Saudi-backed candidate to replace his brother when Saad Hariri announced his resignation from the Saudi capital in November 2017, citing Hezbollah's dominance of Lebanon.

“The difference between me and family members who have practiced politics in the last 15 years is very wide and I cannot accept the failed policies practiced by some, which led the country to this collapse,” said Bahaa Hariri, in an indirect reference to his brother. “I see Hezbollah as the failed past not the future of Lebanon. Terrorist organizations destroy countries they don't build nations,” he said. “The people don't need more bullets, they need bread, jobs, electricity, and a government that serves all the people.”
