Geagea: It is Unfortunate that Hizbullah Does Not Want to Hold Presidential Elections
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea renewed his accusation that Hizbullah does not want to hold the presidential elections.
“Two months after our endorsement of Change and Reform bloc chief MP Michel Aoun's run for the presidency, the party has not not move its little finger to elect him,” he noted during an LF dinner banquet in Batroun on Saturday.
“It did not move its little finger even though it had frequently raised its bigger finger to say that it advocates the MP,” he remarked.
Hizbullah had announced earlier this year that it would boycott electoral sessions until it receives guarantees that Aoun will be elected president.
Geagea, Aoun's longstanding rival, withdrew from the race in favor of the MP, in a bid to end the deadlock over the presidency.
Lebanon has been without a president since May 2014 when the term of Michel Suleiman ended without the election of a successor.
Disputes between the rival March 8 and 14 camps over a candidate have thwarted the polls.
