Hariri was assassinated on 14 February2005 when explosives equivalent to around 1000 kg of TNT were detonated as his motorcade drove past the St George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
In 1978 Hariri was made a citizen of Saudi Arabia by the Saudi royal family as a reward for the high quality of his entrepreneurial services, and became the kingdom's emissary to Lebanon.
Hariri was well regarded among international leaders, counting French President Jacques Chirac as a close friend, and enjoying the record of being the political figure most often received by the French President.
Hariri's success was widely seen as a vote for his father whose February killing in a Beirut bomb blast triggered a major political upheaval in Lebanon that led Damascus to end its 29-year military presence.
Hariri, who along with a number of MPs in his electoral coalition greeted the crowds, said the victory of all the three tickets in Beirut's three constituencies amounted to a triumph for democracy which "they tried to suffocate," for coexistence and national unity, and a tribute to the late leader.
Hariri's alliance was one of solidarity, conciliation, and partnership between a historic representative of a faction of Christians represented by MP-elect Solange Gemayel and the Future Movement.
