Abu Faour Predicts Categorical Measures by March 14 to Elect Suleiman

MP Wael Abu Faour said Sunday the March 14 alliance would adopt “categorical options” to proceed with the nomination of Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman for president if Parliament failed to elect him on Monday.

 

Abu Faour, in an interview with Voice of Lebanon radio, said a team from March 14 factions is working on an “action plan for the forthcoming era.”

 

The majority alliance “would exert all possible pressures and adopt all possible options to achieve the election” of Suleiman for the nation”s top post, according to Abu Faour.

 

He said the action plan would be tackled by March 14 leaders “in the few coming days if efforts to block the presidential election persisted during the session set for Monday.”

 

Abu Faour expected “many domestic, regional and international developments before end of this December that could lead to holding the presidential election.”

 

He accused the Syrian regime of “cheating” France that had tried to facilitate the presidential election.
