Member of the “Strong Lebanon” bloc, MP Alain Aoun, affirmed that “the Free Patriotic Movement did not nominate anyone for the presidency of the republic,” indicating that former minister Ziad Baroud could be one of the possible candicates that the bloc might agree upon if conditions were available.

MP Aoun stressed that the presidential vacuum cannot continue especially since the problem today is political, and the horizon of the vacuum cannot be long and the FPM will not be part of it.

Finally, the MP considered that voting in Parliament should not be a formality, but rather it must be prepared for with the other blocs, adding that their political team has the right to vote with a blank paper so as not to disrupt the quorum of the sessions.
