REPORT: Law on extension of parliament's mandate published in official gazette
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) stated on Tuesday that the law pertaining to the extension of parliament's mandate was published in the official gazette.

On the 5th of November, Lebanese lawmakers held a parliamentary session under the chairmanship of Speaker Nabih Berri and extended the term of the parliament until 2017 amid the boycott of the Free Patriotic Movement and Kataeb party MPs.

Last year, the parliament extended its mandate until November 2014 after the lawmakers failed to agree on a new law and said the security situation in the country did not guarantee violence-free elections.

The Baabda Palace has been vacant since President Michel Sleiman's mandate ended in May.

The rival MPs have failed to elect a new president over their disputes on a consensual candidate.

The majority of the March 8 alliance's MPs have boycotted the sessions, insisting that there should be consensus on a candidate.

But their boycott has also been seen as a sign of their rejection of Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea's candidacy, which was officially endorsed by the March 14 camp before the coalition suggested agreeing on a compromise nominee.
