LF says consensus needed but won't endorse Hezbollah candidate
2023-04-28
[An Nahar] The Lebanese Forces on Thursday said that it knows that “the election of the president can only occur through consensus.”

“But Hezbollah is asking us to choose between its candidate and vacuum, and we will maintain our stance until they back down from their stance,” LF spokesman Charles Jabbour told al-Jadeed TV.

Moreover, Jabbour called on the Free Patriotic Movement to “publicly declare the names of candidates so that an agreement can be reached with the various opposition parties and not only with the LF.”

“Michel Mouawad was part of the FPM bloc, so what prevents them from electing him, and if this is impossible let’s agree on another candidate,” Jabbour added.
