MP Yassine Jaber to LBCI: No president will be elected on February 8

2^min

MP Yassine Jaber downplayed on Tuesday the possibility of electing a new president during the parliamentary session that is scheduled to take place on February 8 because “each party is holding onto its own candidate.”

Jaber’s comments were made during an interview with Nharkom Said TV show whereby he noted that the Development and Liberation bloc did not take a final decision over endorsing the candidacy of March 8 candidates.

On anoter note, Jaber welcome the latest rapprochement between Lebanese Forces party and the Free Patriotic Moement, adding that it will benefit the whole country.

He concluded by calling on LF leader Samir Geagea to re-attend the national dialogue sessions.

Lebanon has been plunged into a presidential vacuum since the mandate of President Michel Sleiman ended in May 2014.

The 35th parliament session has been scheduled to take place on February 8 to elect a new president with conflicting reports speculating that it will meet the same fate of its predecessors.
