Franjieh supporters expect his election after Arab Summit

The political parties that support Suleiman Franjieh’s presidential nomination are “very relieved” over the latest developments, a media report said on Thursday.

Speaker Nabih Berri has “publicly expressed this relief,” al-Akhbar newspaper reported.

“It is based on a host of indications linked to the Saudi efforts,” the daily added.

“Franjieh’s election as president is expected to take place after the Arab Summit, specifically between May 20 and June 15, as a reflection of the calm regional atmosphere that is expected to be achieved by the Summit after the latest regional reconciliations,” the pro-Franjieh sources expected.
