The Free Patriotic Movement might unveil the name of its presidential candidate on Tuesday.

“There is an endeavor to put an article related to naming a third candidate for the presidency on the agenda of the periodic meeting of the Strong Lebanon bloc that will be held tomorrow, in an attempt to make a certain breakthrough in this regard,” an FPM lawmaker told al-Joumhouria newspaper.

But sources close to FPM chief Jebran Bassil told the daily that “several MPs want this step but it might be premature.”

“The final decision belongs to Bassil, seeing as he is the one who lays out the agenda,” the sources said.

“We are awaiting his decision, and it doesn’t seem that it will be decisive in this direction,” the sources added.

Are they looking for another Aoun? the worst president in human history! haven't FPM already caused enough damage? FPM enabled occupation of Lebanon by the Basij, sacrificed our freedom and democracy, destroyed our institutions, wasted $50 billion on energy and leaky dams leaving Lebanon in darkness, brought corruption to Guinness record level via myriads of cronies appointments and nepotism, degraded our reputation making us a beggar nation, and evaporated people's lifetime savings. They should all be in prison not holding conferences!

Oh Lebanon, land of darkness and despair,
A nation shattered by war and endless pain.
Our people suffer, our dreams all but gone,
As we struggle just to carry on.

We long for peace, but it seems so far away,
As our enemies plot and our friends betray.
Yet still we stand, a nation broken and bruised,
Despite the wounds that we have had to choose.

So let us mourn in this somber song,
As we honor our fallen and our brave.
For though our trials may seem never-ending,
We are Lebanon, a nation forever mending.
