Geagea: Hariri Suggested Aoun as Consensus Candidate to Presidential Elections

Head of “Lebanese Forces” party Samir Geagea has opposed the proposal of Saad Hariri to back Michel Aoun as consensus candidate for next Lebanese President.

Geagea said that Aoun cannot be a consensus candidate due to his (Aoun’s) previous practices and cooperation with Lebanese national resistance party Hezbollah.

According to Geagea former Lebanese PM Saad al-Hariri suggested during their Sunday meeting in Paris the head of the Change and Reform Parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun as a consensus candidate to the presidential elections.
