Report: Hezbollah still opposed to 'third choice' presidential candidate
The idea of electing a “third” presidential candidate other than Suleiman Franjieh and Jihad Azour is “still running into Hezbollah’s stance” and there are no indications that a president will be elected anytime soon, a media report said.
“Hezbollah is still putting the Lebanese, the French and the various foreign envoys before the same equation: electing its candidate or no presidential elections,” the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper added.
“Hezbollah considers that there is still time before having to lean towards a third choice, on the hope that the war might offer it a chance, knowing that the internal balance of power did not change prior to October 7 and will not change after this date,” the daily added.

Ok fine then. Go to parliament with your declared candidate and keep voting in successive rounds til someone gets the necessary votes required. if that's your own candidate then so be it. The problem is you don't.

Accept Franjieh and then Lebanon will have a President. It is your camp that is being stubborn. Franjieh deserves a chance

As I have said before, there should be no quotas for votes in either the Parliament or for the President. A simple majority of members present should be, as in most democratic countries, sufficient.
