Aoun, Geagea Discuss Latest Developments in Telephone Call
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea held a telephone call on Friday on the latest developments in Lebanon, reported al-Akhbar newspaper Saturday.
It said that the talks likely focused on the government formation process and efforts to reach an agreement over a new parliamentary electoral law.
It added that the two leaders had last contacted each other in February to congratulate each other over the joint parliamentary committees' approval of the Orthodox Gathering electoral law.
Al-Akhbar noted that the telephone call took place at a time when Bkirki is seeking an agreement on a vote law between the four main Maronite leaders in Lebanon, which include Aoun, Geagea, Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel, and Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh.
The Bkirki efforts are focusing on the hybrid electoral law proposed by Speaker Nabih Berri that combines the winner-takes-all and proportional representation systems.
