BEIRUT: Free Patriotic Movement lawmakers are considering the possibility of attending this week’s presidential election session to vote for their leader Michel Aoun, MP Hikmat Deeb said Monday.
“There is a possibility that Change and Reform Bloc MPs will attend Thursday’s meeting and vote for Gen. Michel Aoun, but the final decision will be taken at the bloc meeting on Tuesday," Deeb told the Voice of Lebanon radio station.
He said a “positive atmosphere” prevails as the various political leaders, particularly within the Future Movement, are “convinced of the need to bring a strong president.”
Deeb pointed to Future Movement leader Saad Hariri’s televised speech during a March 2014 rally, held in Downtown Beirut, to mark the ninth anniversary of the founding of the March 14 coalition.
