Gemayel in Bnashii for Talks with Franjieh

Kataeb party MP Sami Gemayel met on Thursday with Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh on the third day of his tour on Christian leaders.

Gemayel headed to Zgharta's Bnashii for talks with Franjieh a day after he met with Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun.

The lawmaker said after talks with Aoun on Wednesday that the circumstances compelled him to visit Rabieh.

Gemayel had discussed with Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea the latest developments in Lebanon and the ongoing presidential vacuum during a meeting in Maarab on Tuesday.

Last week, Gemayel accompanied Geagea to Saudi Arabia for separate meetings with senior Saudi officials and al-Mustaqbal leader Saad Hariri.

The country has been without a president since the term of Michel Suleiman ended in May as the rival parties have failed so far to agree on a compromise candidate, which is also threatening to torpedo the upcoming parliamentary elections.

The crises are threatening further vacuum at Lebanese institutions, which could also impact the cabinet.
