Geagea: I wish the deputies of the opposition axis and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri would learn a little from what happened in the elections for the presidency of the US House of Representatives

The head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, said in a statement: “I wish the deputies of the opposition axis and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri would learn a little from what happened this week in the elections for the presidency of the US House of Representatives, as when the competition intensifies and none of the candidates is able to win the required majority, the rounds follow.” Every day, the sessions remained open, and discussions and dialogues took place during the sessions in the House of Representatives, until the competitors decided to choose one of them, and he was elected Speaker of the US House of Representatives after 15 rounds of voting.

Geagea added in his statement, “If this is what happened in the election of the US House of Representatives as its speaker, then how much more should it be in electing a president for the republic in Lebanon? The eleventh to elect a President of the Republic is to inform all parliamentary blocs in advance that he will not close the session, and that these blocs are invited to remain in the parliament in order to dialogue and discuss between successive election cycles, and that he will keep the session open not only between one session and another, but also from one day to the next. And so on until the election of the President of the Republic.

And he continued: “This is how serious calls for election sessions are, and this is how we arrive in a few hours or days to elect a president of the republic, and not by calling for dialogue to reach the election of a president of the republic, because the official dialogue takes place in the House of Representatives between one session and another, and not to an unconstitutional dialogue table that excludes Focusing on the parliament’s role in electing the president and taking it to another place with the sole purpose of covering up those who obstruct the first presidential elections.
