In 1988, he was appointed as Prime Minister by the departing President Amine Gemayel, who formed a military government after the parliament failed to elect a new president, dismissing the current government by Selim Hoss. Supported by Syria, Hoss refused this decision, which caused the rise of two rival governments contending for power, with Aoun being supported by Christians and Iraq, while the other being supported by Muslims and Syria.

As Prime Minister, Aoun declared the War of Liberation on Syria in 1989, opposed the Taif Agreement, refused to refused to recognize the newly elected presidents René Moawad and Elias Hrawi, and clashed with the Lebanese Forces led by Samir Geagea.

He fled to the French Embassy where he declared his surrender and was later granted asylum in France, where he lived in exile for 15 years.

Following the assassination of Rafic Hariri in 2005, a chain of widespread demonstrations erupted in Lebanon and resulted in the withdrawal of Syrian troops from the country. Eleven days later, Aoun returned to Lebaon.

He won a seat in the Parliament in the 2005 general election, and headed the parliamentary bloc "Change and Reform", which was formed of 21 deputies. In 2006, he signed a memorandum of understanding with Hezbollah, and joined the March 8 Alliance. (اعتصام المعارضة واتفاق الدوحة). He also visited the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2008, ending his rivalry with Syria.
