Report: Azour tops al-Rahi's presidential candidates list
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi has started thinking of potential candidates for the presidential election, Kuwait’s al-Rai newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Al-Rahi’s choices will be based on “the president’s personality and the neutral characteristics he has proposed,” the daily said.
“Al-Rahi was clinging to two names: ex-ministers Ziad Baroud and Roger Dib. Following a round of consultations, he later added the name of ex-minister (and current International Monetary Fund official) Jihad Azour, who has topped his choices,” the newspaper added.
