REPORT: Gemayel from Zahle: Conducting a presidential election referendum is a waste of time

Former head of Kataeb Party Amin Gemayel met Saturday with Bishop George Mouawad at the Maronite Diocese of Zahle, where he said that he is against conducting a popular referendum to elect a new president, deeming such a move as “a waste of time.”

“All deputies must head to the Parliament and elect a new president,” he stressed.

Lebanon has been plunged into a presidential vacuum since May 2014 when the mandate of Michel Sleiman ended without the election of a successor. The deputies have since failed to elect a new president due to lack of quorum during the parliamentary sessions.
