Azour refuses to be 'confrontation candidate'

Ex-minister Jihad Azour has refused to be a “confrontation” presidential candidate, a media report said on Wednesday.

“He has informed the relevant parties that he will not accept to be elected except through consensus and that success should be guaranteed,” al-Akhbar newspaper reported.

He said that he would be “carrying an economic program that requires an appropriate environment in order to be implemented” and that “if the coming period will be quarrelsome he prefers not to be part of such a scene.”
