REPORT: Presidential elections postponed until April 02
The 20th parliamentary session scheduled to elect a president was delayed on Wednesday until the 2nd of April due to lack of quorum, as only 55 deputies attended.

From the Parliament, MP Boutros Harb emphasized that the complexity of the situation in Lebanon is increasing, stressing that Lebanon cannot remain without a head of state until MP Michel Aoun and Hezbollah agree to participate in the electoral session.

Deputy Ahmad Fatfat noted that all Lebanese factions should have a unified stance regarding the situation in the region.

For his part, MP Attef Majdalani stated that “certain colleagues are hindering the election of a new president.”

Lebanon has been plunged into a presidential vacuum after Michel Sleiman's mandate ended on May 25 with rival political blocs still divided over a new leader.
