Sayyed Nasrallah: Aoun Is The Powerful Presidential Candidate

Hezbollah Secretary General once again voiced his party’s backing to the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) as a presidential candidate.

“General Aoun is the presidential candidate; he is a powerful candidate who enjoys wide-based representation,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.

His remarks were during a meeting with the board of trustees, head and deans of a new university in Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh), al-Maaref, Hezbollah Media Relations said in a statement on Wednesday.

“We were, we are still and we will keep on supporting this candidacy,” Sayyed Nasrallah said in the meeting which was also attended by the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
