The Lebanese parliament, headed by Nabih Berri, will hold a session at 11:00 am on Thursday, September 29, 2022, in order to elect a President.

This came after Berri emphasized the latest speech of Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan, saying it was “more than good and unifying.”

“There is a need to form the government, but the election of a new president is more than necessary to foil the plans of those betting on a presidential vacancy,” the Speaker said.

Berri earlier said that “it would be an adventure to enter parliament without the presence of consensus but rather a rift, that’s why patience is needed on this issue, and I’m seeking some consensus, not unanimity.”
