FPM, LF discuss Baroud, Azour, Honein for presidency
Presidential consultations between the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces have made progress, ending up with three candidates accepted by both parties, Nidaa al-Watan newspaper said Wednesday.
According to the daily, both the LF and the FPM have no veto on the names of former ministers Ziad Baroud and Jihad Azour, and on former MP Salah Honein.
The consultations also include other opposition and independent MPs, including the Progressive Socialist party MPs and the Sunni MPs.
MP Salah Honein, unlike some other cowards, declared his candidacy as early as December. https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1321002/salah-honein-is-officially-a-candidate-for-president.html
From a purely financial point of view, Jihad Azour would be the ideal candidate, but finance is just part of it.
Good canditates all of them. Ziad Baroud stood out during his tenure as minister of interior.
