Bassil says FPM has unrevealed yet 'logical' presidential candidate
Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil sterssed Sunday that the FPM will not endorse the presidential nomination of Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh.
“Void will exchaust those who are void and they are betting on it. Vacuum will cost the country but it will not deter us from our stance,” Bassil told reporters in Rabieh after the departure of President Michel Aoun from the Baabda Palace.
Asked about his own nomination for the country’s top post, Bassil said: “Can you forget about me? If you forget me you will be relieved.”
“We have our logical candidate but we have nominated him in order to facilitate consensus,” Bassil added, noting that “all parties are not being able to agree on a candidate who can reach the presidency.”
