Bkerki's spokesperson says al-Rahi, Bukhari agree on president's qualifications

Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari met Tuesday with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi in Bkerki over the Lebanese presidential file.

Bukhari told al-Rahi that KSA has no specific candidate but urges for the election of an uncorrupt president who can save the country, local media said.

Bkerki’s spokesperson Walid Ghayad told the media that al-Rahi agrees with Bukhari on the president’s qualifications, adding that when there are qualifications, there will definitely be a Saudi veto on those who don’t have these qualifications.

Bukhari will also meet with other Lebanese leaders including Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat and Kataeb party chief Sami Gemayel.
