Bassil nominates himself anew for FPM leader post

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil announced Monday that the FPM leadership elections will be held on September 10.

“It is a date on which we will emphasize our commitment to our bylaws and to our pledge to be an institution that abides by the decision and will of those who belong to it,” Bassil said in an online video.

“I nominate myself so that we continue together the struggle journey that we started in 1988,” Bassil added.

“I also call on any member who enjoys eligibility and ability to lead the Movement, or anyone who does not approve of my leadership of the Movement, to also run for the FPM leader post because we did not come from the culture of hereditary politics,” Bassil went on to say.
