Report: Geagea Will Not Visit Any Official for Talks, but Maarab's Doors Open to All

Lebanese Forces head Samir Geagea is set to chair on Tuesday the regular meeting of his party's central council, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper.

It said that he has been intensifying his talks with various LF officials as part of the latest developments in the presidential elections file and the emergence of differences with its ally, the Mustaqbal Movement, over the nomination of Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh as president.

Geagea has decided that he will not make any visits to political officials to address the elections, added the daily.

“Doors to his Maarab residence will however remain open to all sides,” it stressed.

Geagea is a presidential candidate and the Mustaqbal's drive to nominate Franjieh as president has created differences with its ally.

Geagea had previously said that in spite of the disputes within the alliance, the March 14 camp will remain.

“The March 14 movement is a constant in our modern history, because it represents a line of thought in Lebanon, which the majority of its people believe it,” he explained.

The Mustaqbal and LF general secretariats on Monday had issued a memo to their supporters advising them against making inflammatory remarks about the other in the wake of the dispute between Hariri and Geagea.
