President of the Republic Michel Aoun vowed to “do everything in (his) power to ensure the favorable conditions for the election of a new president,” in his address on the occasion of the 77th Army Day on Monday.
“Amid multiple challenges and confrontations, Lebanon is still without a government, despite almost two and a half months after the beginning of the new parliament term, which was formed following elections where citizens have exercised their freedom of choice.”
“Yet, despite the bet that parliamentary elections would not take place, Lebanon has a new parliament. Unfortunately, the same bet is reiterated today in addressing the faltering conduct of presidential elections.”
“From my position, and in shouldering my constitutional responsibilities, I reiterate that, as I committed myself to holding the parliamentary elections, I will do everything in my power to ensure favorable conditions for the election of a new president who will pursue the laborious reform process that we have embarked on.”
