FPM may Tuesday unveil name of its presidential candidate
The Free Patriotic Movement might unveil the name of its presidential candidate on Tuesday.
“There is an endeavor to put an article related to naming a third candidate for the presidency on the agenda of the periodic meeting of the Strong Lebanon bloc that will be held tomorrow, in an attempt to make a certain breakthrough in this regard,” an FPM lawmaker told al-Joumhouria newspaper.
But sources close to FPM chief Jebran Bassil told the daily that “several MPs want this step but it might be premature.”
“The final decision belongs to Bassil, seeing as he is the one who lays out the agenda,” the sources said.
“We are awaiting his decision, and it doesn’t seem that it will be decisive in this direction,” the sources added.
