Report: Hezbollah still opposed to 'third choice' presidential candidate
The idea of electing a “third” presidential candidate other than Suleiman Franjieh and Jihad Azour is “still running into Hezbollah’s stance” and there are no indications that a president will be elected anytime soon, a media report said.
“Hezbollah is still putting the Lebanese, the French and the various foreign envoys before the same equation: electing its candidate or no presidential elections,” the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper added.
“Hezbollah considers that there is still time before having to lean towards a third choice, on the hope that the war might offer it a chance, knowing that the internal balance of power did not change prior to October 7 and will not change after this date,” the daily added.
