Report: Mustaqbal Informs Hizbullah, AMAL of its Nomination of Franjieh as President
The Mustaqbal Movement informed Hizbullah and the AMAL movement of its nomination of Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh as president, reported As Safir newspaper on Tuesday.
It said that the Mustaqbal Movement had informed the two sides of its decision during the dialogue session with Hizbullah that was held at Speaker Nabih Berri's Ain el-Tineh residence on Monday.
The presidential elections were therefore the main topic of discussion at the meeting, which was summed up in its concluding statement that said: “Talks tackled the political developments, especially those related to the constitutional junctures.”
The bilateral talks come amid calls for a so-called national political settlement which have been voiced by several parties, including Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and al-Mustaqbal Movement leader MP Saad Hariri.
The country is witnessing a flurry of political talks between parties from both the March 14 and March 8 camps.
The new momentum followed a meeting that was held in Paris between Hariri and Franjieh.
The Franjieh-Hariri meeting has sparked intense speculation that they agreed to the nomination of the Marada chief as president.
