Head of the Progressive Socialist Party MP Walid Jumblat is expected to travel to the French capital Paris soon in order to hold talks with Mustaqbal Movement leader MP Saad Hariri over the presidential elections, reported As Safir newspaper on Saturday.

It said that Jumblat is expected to inquire about the details of the rapprochement between the Mustaqbal and the Free Patriotic Movement of MP Michel Aoun.

Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun remained mum on a proposal made by his rival Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea to resolve the presidential deadlock but his silence was explained as a source of rejection.

Aoun met with a delegation from Maronite institutions on Thursday. Sources of the conferees in Rabieh said the lawmaker did not comment on a suggestion made by Geagea to either run against him for office or to meet and agree on a consensual nominee.

The Change and Reform bloc announced after its weekly meeting on Monday afternoon that all legislation amid the presidential vacuum is “illegitimate.”

“Except when it's concerned with reforming the political system, such as voting on an electoral law,” a released statement read by former Labor Minister Salim Jreissati said after the meeting.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun is keen to maintain contacts between him and Mustaqbal Movement chief Saad Hariri in order to reach an agreement over the presidential elections, reported the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa daily on Sunday.

March 14 alliance sources told the daily however that the possibility of an understanding between the two officials ended with the end of President Michel Suleiman's term.

Head of al-Mustaqbal Movement Saad Hariri hailed on Saturday President Michel Suleiman, saying that the country “needs a political miracle to ensure electing a new head of state” ahead of the end of the outgoing president's six-year term.

“Few hours separate us from the constitutional deadline to elect a new president, which requires a political miracle to end the deadlock,” Hariri said in a statement issued by his press office.

The adviser of al-Mustaqbal movement leader, Nader al-Hariri, denied a meeting recently with Free Patriotic Movement Michel Aoun and presenting him an offer to extend the tenure of outgoing President Michel Suleiman's by one year.

Sources close to al-Mustaqbal official, who is loyal to ex-premier Saad Hariri, ruled out that Nader al-Hariri proposed on Aoun to adopt his candidacy for presidency if Suleiman's term was extended by one year to avoid vacuum.

An agreement between al-Mustaqbal and the Free Patriotic Movement is reportedly the solution to the controversial presidential deadlock.

According to As Safir newspaper, consultations between the two parties didn't reach any positive results as al-Mustaqbal chief Saad Hariri hasn't yet “openly” agreed to support FPM leader Michel Aoun's candidacy to the presidency.

A meeting that was scheduled to be held between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and al-Mustaqbal movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri was postponed due to the sensitive political situation in Lebanon, Russian sources said.

The talks had been set for Thursday.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun announced on Wednesday that he wants to be part of an "integrated triangle" along with Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal Movement.

"We want everyone to reach an understanding for Lebanon's sake and interest," Aoun said in an interview aired on al-Manar television on Wednesday evening.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam said he discussed with Saudi officials during his two-day visit to the kingdom the grant to the Lebanese army, the burden of Syrian refugees and the presidential deadlock.

In remarks to al-Liwaa newspaper published on Wednesday, Salam said he thanked Saudi officials on their “generous” three-billion-dollar grant that was announced in late December.
