Hezbollah official says party to back Franjieh as long as he's in presidential race
The deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, Mahmoud Qmati, has said that his party will do everything it can to facilitate the election of a new Lebanese president.
"As long as (ex-)minister (Suleiman) Franjieh remains running for president, we will support him and won't give up supporting him for this position. But if he reaches another conclusion, we will then consider other candidates," Qmati added.
"We are people of loyalty and commitment and we do not back down," the Hezbollah official said.
