Lebanon presidential vote put off indefinitely

Lebanonâs presidential vote was postponed indefinitely on Thursday, with no agreement between two rival blocs, just three days away from the end of President Michel Sleimanâs mandate.

âDue to the lack of quorum, as 73 MPs (out of 128) were present, parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri announced that parliament will remain in session until the end of the presidential mandate, and if there are any developments, he will invite the deputies to vote,â said to a statement carried by the official National News Agency.

Should no president be chosen, the government will assume full executive powers -- a situation Lebanon already faced in 1988 and 2007.
