REPORT: Presidential election session adjourned until October 31

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri postponed Wednesday the 45th session to elect a new president until October 31.

 

Lebanon has been without a president for nearly two years and rival political blocs, backed respectively by rival regional powers Saudi Arabia and Iran, have failed to reach an agreement on who should fill the vacuum.

 

“Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri is conducting consultations in order to break the current political impasse,” Sate Minister Nabil De Freij said from Parliament.

 

For his part, MP Estephan Douaihy stressed his support for the candidacy of Mara Movement leader MP Sleiman Frangieh, saying that “he can achieve a national consensus.”
