BEIRUT: Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has set June 14 as the date for holding a session to elect a Lebanese president.
Former President Michel Aoun’s term expired last October with no successor lined up.
Monday’s announcement came after Lebanon’s disparate opposition, independent and main Christian parties said on Sunday that they had nominated IMF official Jihad Azour for the presidency in a challenge to Hezbollah-backed candidate Suleiman Frangieh.
