I Will Not Affiliate with Another Camp, I will Join the President Instead
MP Walid Jumblat stressed a day after he announced he was terminating his alliance with the majority March 14 coalition that he was going independent and would not affiliate with any political camp, but rather join President Michel Suleiman.
"I am an independent. I will not affiliate with any other team. I will join the President who is the guarantor," Jumblat said in an interview with MTV late Monday.
"I will see an appropriate time to vote in Parliament or in Cabinet," he added.
Jumblat pointed, however, that a number of MPs within his Democratic Gathering bloc would vote in favor of the majority.
The Druze leader on Sunday announced that his alliance with March 14 forces had been "out of necessity and must not continue."
