MP Daher to LBCI: I prefer Aoun over Frangieh as Lebanon’s next president

“How could Mufti of Tripoli Sheikh Malek Chaar endorse Frangieh’s candidacy while Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai did not do so yet?,” Daher added.

 

Daher’s comments were made during an interview with LBCI Nharkom Said TV show whereby he said that the relationship with the Future Movement is “good, although we disagree over the political performance.”

 

Lebanon has been plunged into a presidential vacuum after the mandate of Michel Sleiman ended in May 2014 without the election of a successor.

 

Deep disputes between rival political parties have thwarted the polls.
