MP Walid Khoury: I am ready to elect General Sleiman as president
MP Walid Khoury of the Change and Reform bloc headed by MP Michel Aoun called on all Lebanese for unity to help reach a solution.
“In the midst of the developments, I support the candidacy of Army Commander General Michel Sleiman. His candidacy has been supported by all Lebanese factions, and all Arab leaders and heads of state,” Khoury said.
“I think that Sleiman must be elected as soon as possible, and as an MP, I am ready to vote for him anytime the presidential-election session is held,” he added.
Khoury said that based on his personal and familial relations with Sleiman, and because of his political experience with him, he is confident of Sleiman’s ability to lead the country.
“Sleiman will be able to repair what has been damaged and will guarantee the Change and Reform bloc’s aspirations to build a powerful state,” he said, also noting that he will remain on good terms with Sleiman no matter what.
