#LEBANON: Parliament Will Try (For the 44th Time) To Elect A President Tomorrow

[world politics news]


The Lebanese parliament will meet again tomorrow, and for the 44th time in a row, will seek to elect a president to replace Michel Suleiman, whose term ended on May 25 , 2014. Parliament failed in August to reach a quorum because the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group and its ally MP Michel Aoun’s Change and Reform bloc MPs boycotted the session, because they could not guarantee Aoun’s election as a president.
