Hamadeh says Democratic Gathering open to ‘other candidates’
MP Marwan Hamadeh of the Democratic Gathering on Tuesday said he does not expect French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian to carry any solution “formula” during his visit to Lebanon.
He will rather carry “a French approach that is in harmony with the Saudi proposal, seeing as it will not propose a presidential candidate but will rather seek a project,” Hamadeh said in an interview with Radio All of Lebanon.
“Le Drian will change the approach based on elements that surfaced over the past week, which are Christian unity and Shiite insistence on (Suleiman) Franjieh’s nomination,” Hamadeh added.
The lawmaker also said that the Democratic Gathering is open to discussing candidates other than Jihad Azour.
