leader Samir Geagea
 ...Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005...
has confirmed that he has rejected "domestic and foreign" proposals for the election of Suleiman Franjieh as president in return for the appointment of a pro-opposition premier.
In an interview with The Independent Arabia, Geagea also said that he does not believe that  Hezbollah might back down from supporting Franjieh in the current period.
"But if it decides so, it will pick a candidate with no flavor, color, stance or personality, and we would take the same stance on such a candidate," Geagea added.
He also accused Hezbollah of seeking to secure the election of a president who would be 100% loyal to it and who would implement its policies, or else it would "block the elections."
Asked about his new stance on boycotting presidential election sessions, Geagea said it would be "idiotic" to facilitate the election of a pro-Hezbollah president after the president and its allies "changed the rules of the democratic game and suspended the constitution" for five months.
"They can’t obstruct when they want and then suddenly ask us to facilitate the election of their candidate," the LF leader added.
"When the negotiators asked me about the reason behind my rejection of Franjieh I clarified that the problem is not in the person of the Marada Movement

leader, but rather in making steps that would aggravate the crisis instead of resolving it," Geagea went on to say.
He added: "Should Franjieh become president, he will rule based on the force that he relied on to reach the presidency, which is Hezbollah and its allies."
