REPORT: MP Siniora says Future bloc ready to hold dialogue over the presidential elections
Head of the Future bloc MP Fouad Siniora stressed on Sunday that the election of a president should be a top priority.

Siniora stressed that the bloc is ready to hold dialogue in order to reach an agreement over a new president.

Siniora's comments were made during a meeting of Our Lady of the Mountain Gathering.

“The new president should represent national unity, respect the Lebanese constitution and the Baabda Declaration,” Siniora added.

Siniora also rejected the spread of Islamist extremism, stressing the need to protect Lebanon from it.

“I am a Lebanese Arabist Muslim and I reject the actions of those who claim to adhere to Islam and commit crimes in its name,” he stressed.

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

The March 14 camp has frequently voiced its support to candidate Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat suggested the nomination of candidate Henri Helou, while the March 8 camp did not yet announce its candidate.

Free Patriotic Movement MP Michel Aoun, who has not declared his candidacy for the presidency, has repeatedly said that he would run in the elections if there was an agreement over him.

Several elections sessions have been held, but failed to elect a new president due to a lack of quorum at parliament over a boycott by the Hezbollah and Change and Reform blocs.
