Only eleven lawmakers from the Free Patriotic Movement will vote for Jihad Azour in a presidential election session, a media report said on Monday.

Six others will cast blank ballots after they had demanded that one of the FPM legislators be nominated for the presidency, the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported.

The three MPs of the Tashnag Party, which is part of the bloc, will meanwhile vote for Suleiman Franjieh and so will MP Mohammed Yahia of Akkar, the daily added.
