PSP MP says no foreign, domestic will to elect president

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jubmlat has stopped nominating presidential candidates, as it became obvious that there is no political will to elect a president, PSP MP Wael Bou Faour said Tuesday.

"There is obviously no foreign and domestic will to elect a president, and naming a candidate would destroy his chances," Bou Faour told LBCI.

"It is useless to float names," he added.

Bou faour said that there is a regular communication between his bloc and Saudi Arabia and that the latter did not discuss any names but has presidential qualifications. He said he hasn't been informed of any new developments regarding the Saudi stance on the presidential file.

"The French are the ones who said that there is a Saudi repositioning and that the Saudis are open to discussion," Bou Faour said.
