Lebanon's parliament secures quorum with full attendance of 128 MPs for pivotal presidential election session

Lebanon's parliament convened on Thursday with the full attendance of 128 members, securing quorum for the highly anticipated presidential election session.

The session represents a pivotal moment in Lebanon's prolonged search for a new president, as political pressure intensifies for the election of a leader who can tackle the country's escalating crises.

With Lebanon grappling with numerous challenges, including enforcing the ceasefire agreement with Israel and stabilizing its economy, the election of a new president remains a key priority for the international community.
