Report: Consensual president to be elected on June 6

June 6 will be a “serious and strongly likely” date for holding a presidential election session, informed sources said.

“Despite the Shiite Duo’s clinging to Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh’s nomination, there are efforts to agree on a candidate who would not be loyal to the ruling camp or the opposition camp,” the sources told al-Liwaa newspaper in remarks published Friday.

“The names of five consensual candidates are being circulated and one of them will be picked to be the new president,” the sources added.
