Bou Najem meets Geagea in presidential talks tour

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea met Monday with Maronite Archbishop of Antelias Antoine Bou Najem over the presidential crisis.

Assigned by Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, Bou Najem had started last month to meet Christian leaders in an attempt to secure Christian consensus over the presidential file.

L'Orient-Le Jour leaked last week a non-final list of potential consensual candidates whose names have been discussed between the Christian leaders and Bou Najem.

The list included Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh, Army chief Joseph Aoun, MP Michel Mouawad and others.

Media reports said that al-Rahi will call for an inter-Christian meeting, as soon as Bou Najem finishes his tour.
