BEIRUT: Lawmakers headed to Parliament Wednesday to attend a session designed to elect a new president for Lebanon.
Mone of the presidential candidates are expected to get two-thirds of the vote by MPs in the first round.
The March 14 coalition has said its lawmakers will vote for Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, while the Hezbollah-led March 8 alliance is expected to cast blank ballots. The presumed March 8 candidate, MP Michel Aoun, has yet to officially announce his candidacy.
The second round is also unlikely to achieve quorum.
