Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament Nabih Berri on Saturday called anew upon the MPs to hold consultations at the assembly headquarters "for electing a new president for the republic." Berri, in televised remarks, addressed the legislators, saying, "Come tomorrow for consultations under the parliament ceiling for finding a unanimity president." The parliament speaker said the issue of electing a new president is not linked to the Israeli aggression on Gaza and South Lebanon." The presidential post has been vacant since October 2022 amid a lack of a majority and a quorum in the parliament. Leading local politicians in other camps argue that a parliament session must be called for actual balloting, not consultations. Source: Kuwait News Agency
