Reformist MPs to meet President separately in binding consultations
The so-called Change MPs will meet President Michel Aoun separately during the binding parliamentary consultations next Thursday, al-Akhbar newspaper reported.
In remarks published Thursday, the daily said that the meetings are separate because the MPs haven't yet agreed on one name according to some sources, while other sources said that the Parliament's General Secretariat has sent the names separately without asking the MPs.
Al-Akhbar added that the reformists are holding continuous meetings in an attempt to select a name out of five candidates named by the MPs, before the consultations.
In case the MPs manage to agree on one name, they will demand to meet the President as one bloc, the sources told the newspaper.
