Raad says rivals 'using' Azour to block election of 'resistance candidate'
The head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, on Monday accused the rival camp of “using” ex-minister Jihad Azour to block the election of “the candidate of the resistance,” in reference to Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh.
“The people of the resistance are being competed against by a group of Lebanese who are nominating and backing a person whom they don’t want to be elected as president. They are only using him to block the election of the candidate of the resistance,” Raad said.
“National partnership is to fulfill the interests of all Lebanese without discrimination, selectivity or persecution of anyone, but others understand national partnership as the use of another group of Lebanese to achieve their partisan interests at the expense of all Lebanese,” the MP added.
