No dialogue: Berri calls for 10th president election session
There will be no dialogue on Thursday, the Berri-owned NBN TV said Tuesday.
The parliamentary session will be "exclusively for electing a president", the media outlet said, as the Lebanese Forces and the Free Patriotic Movement refused to participate in a dialogue that might have replaced the presidential election session.
Earlier on Tuesday, The LF warned against replacing the election session with a dialogue, "categorically" rejecting participating in it.
Berri had announced last week that he would turn Thursday’s presidential election session into a dialogue if the blocs agree to such a move.
On Tuesday, he officially called for a presidential election session on Thursday, after the LF said in a statement that turning the election session into a dialogue would be a clear disruption to a constitutional requirement, asking Berri to withdraw his call for dialogue and to call instead for open sessions until a president is elected.

Instead of calling for dialogue, why don't you and your crew of Amal MPs vote for Franjieh since that's who you want instead of putting blank votes and then walk out. And you call yourself a statesman.
Sad the folks in my town worship you, I have cousins that do that and i argue with them all the time but to no avail.
