Al-Mustaqbal Movement leader and former Prime Minister Saad Hariri stated on Sunday that he is eager for a solution that meets the will of the Lebanese in a bid to end the vacuum at the top state post.
“We are eagerly waiting for a course that meets the will of the majority of the Lebanese in order to find a solution for the presidential vacuum,” said Hariri via twitter.
“We have always called for setting a road map that primarily begins with an agreement on a president,” he added.
The former PM stressed saying: “Deciding the fate of the presidency is the proper entrance for a settlement to re-produce the executive authority and the electoral law.”
“Thwarting strife in Lebanon requires fateful decisions that would prevent the country from going into the surrounding wars.”
He concluded reiterating solidarity with the victims of the Bourj al-Barajneh blast, he said: “Solidarity with our people in Bourj al-Barajneh is a moral and national responsibility. The unity of the Lebanese people must prevail over any other consideration and conflict."
At least 43 people were killed and 230 others were wounded in a suicide bombing that rocked the Bourj al-Barajneh area south of Beirut on Thursday.
Lebanon has been without a president since the term of President Michel Suleiman ended in May 2014.
The rival political camps of March 14 and March 8 camps have failed so far to agree on a successor over political disputes.

Mr Prime Minister,
Caporal is an agent and a traitor. His hands are tied for ever.
Some of your advisors are wrong to even consider him for one pico-second.
There are many good candidates : Samir Frangieh, Ziad Baroud, Qahwaji, Frem, Rizk....actually "anybody, but not HIM"

So if it turns out that the majority of the Lebanese are Shias, so that if you set aside the Taef "Accord's" fifty-split of Parliament seats (ahead of any election) between Christians and Muslims and held a free election, the Shia preference became the ruling slate, that would indeed answer your requirement that the Lebanese get the solution they want and deserve. Presidency, trash, Arsal, Hezbullah in Syria, foreign money in Lebanese politics, sons inheriting power from their warlord fathers, etc.: all these problems would be solved.
