REPORT: Patriarch Rai and visitors discuss presidential elections

Former Kataeb leader Amine Gemayel said on Sunday that the Lebanese leaders are required to be vigilant about the current phase, adding that the crisis is worsening in the region.

Gemayel’s comments were made after meeting with Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai in Bkerke whereby he called for the election of a new president, and the reactivation of the work of the state’s institutions.

Gemayel also noted that the Kataeb party is open to all solutions that will lead to the election of a new president.

Lebanon has been plunged into a presidential vacuum since the mandate of President Michel Sleiman ended without the election of a successor.
