Al-Rahi Hopes Officials Would 'Freely' Elect New President
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi lamented on Sunday the ongoing vacancy in the presidency, urging officials to perform their constitutional duties to stage the presidential elections.
He hoped during his Sunday sermon that lawmakers would “bravely arm themselves with the freedom of choice and opinion” in electing a candidate.
“They should adopt actual initiatives that would enable them to elect a head of state before May 25,” he added.
Lebanon has been without a president since May 25, 2014 when the term of Michel Suleiman ended without the election of a successor.
Ongoing disputes between the rival March 8 and 14 camps over a compromise candidate have thwarted the polls.

Damn with any Christian who is a dog to Ebola and works against the Christians.
Damn with this Caporal who is a liar, corrupt, agent, traitor and mentally ill.
Damn with any Christian who accepts a Mutelateh.
Damn with any Christian who supports a traitor, because he becomes a traitor himself.
Damn with any Christian who forgets what the murderers Assad and his son the Butcher did to Lebanon.
Damn with any Christian who seeks orders from the outside.
Damn with any Christian whose heart and soul are filled with violence and war.
Damn with any Christian who doesn't place Lebanon first and foremost and values its independence, freedom and total sovereignty
