Bassil would only accept an FPM presidential candidate
The FPM will not agree with the Lebanese Forces and the opposition on any candidate except a candidate from the FPM, MP Alain Aoun said.
Aoun considered that only an FPM candidate would not be considered provocative to Hezbollah.
LF MP George Adwan had also said that the agreement with the FPM has failed as FPM chief Jebran Bassil would not endorse a candidate unless his name is acceptable for Hezbollah.
Adwan considered that Bassil was using the opposition to improve his negotiation cards with Hezbollah, while Aoun accused the opposition of using the FPM to harm Hezbollah.
"We want to bring the parties together, not to line up against them," Aoun said.
He added that the FPM MPs will attend all the voting sessions, and said that boycotting sessions must have a clear goal while the FPM currently don't have any candidate.
