Raad admits Hezbollah has undeclared presidential candidate
The head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, admitted Saturday that his party has an undeclared presidential candidate, in an apparent reference to Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh.
"We have proposed to all Lebanese to agree on the identity of the president who would befit this stage in the country, and we have rejected the presence of a candidate who would be provocative to anyone or any party, especially that the country does not bear that we challenge each other," Raad said.
"Some are insisting to use a substitute candidate until they agree on their real candidate, and meanwhile we have not revealed our candidate, but we have someone whom we want to become president, and we want to propose him to convince others of him," Raad added.
Moreover, the Hezbollah lawmaker called for "a president who would be open to everyone and can talk to everyone, without having a prior veto on him from others."
