Berri says setting presidential vote without consensus would be 'adventure'
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Thursday noted that calling for a presidential vote session without at least “some consensus” would be an “adventure.”
“This is my jurisdiction and when I assess that there is some sort of consensus, I will call for a session,” Berri said when asked by MP Paula Yacoubian about setting a date for a session to elect a new president.
“It would be an adventure to enter parliament without the presence of consensus but rather a rift, that’s why patience is needed on this issue, and I’m seeking some consensus, not unanimity,” Berri added.
