Berri to call for presidential vote session before Oct. 31

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri will call for a presidential vote session before the end of President Michel Aoun’s term on October 31, MP Ali Hassan Khalil announced on Tuesday.

“Several sessions might be held,” Khalil added, following a meeting between Berri’s Development and Liberation bloc and a delegation from the Change bloc.

“With high positivity, we welcomed their program for presidential elections, and as usual we are keen on hearing their viewpoint with all due concentration and attention,” Khalil went on to say.

The Change bloc delegation has been visiting the various parliamentary blocs for the past two days to explain the bloc’s recently-launched presidential initiative.
