Politicians back at the table while death goes silent.

"Meetings among the major political blocs are underway as we approach Thursday when the first session of the new parliament is schedules.
Observers and politicians expect these last-minute meetings to be decisive given the fact that a 60-day countdown clock will start ticking once the parliament is seated and during those 60 days the parliament will have to vote on a presidential council and then approve the cabinet formed by the PM when the latter gets asked to do so by the president.

Of course the 60 days deadline is not the end of the world, for if this deadline is exceeded, the president will have to ask another person to form a cabinet and present it to the parliament for approval. And so on, until a government is in place.
But, no one prefers to take this road and most people prefer to get the government formed from the first trail to avoid adding unnecessary tension to what we already have to deal with."
