Report: Hezbollah seeking to convince FPM not to vote for anyone

Hezbollah is confident of its ability to secure Suleiman Franjieh’s election any voting session that might be held, a media report said.

“It is pressing to neutralize the Aounist Movement’s bloc by offering it guarantees that it will be influential in the coming period,” Annahar newspaper reported.

“Hezbollah is trying to sway the FPM, not into electing Franjieh but rather into not electing any of his competitors,” the daily added.

The report comes on the eve of a meeting in Sin el-Fil between Hezbollah liaison and coordination officer Wafiq Safa and FPM chief Jebran Bassil.
