Suleiman Says he Won”t Seek Reelection, Several Constitutional Amendments are Needed
President Michel Suleiman has said that he won”t seek another term in office but vowed to carry out constitutional amendments to improve the functions of state institutions.
"Some people would be obliged to extend (their term) under exceptional circumstances. But I believe that an official should not remain in his post for a period of more than 3-4 years," Suleiman told Kalam magazine that is issued by Saint Joseph University”s media and communications faculty.
He said many amendments are needed. However, they could only be carried out through consensus.
Suleiman told the magazine he is one of the supporters of change inside state institutions to open way opportunities for new figures.
