Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq on Tuesday reiterated his belief that a president will be elected before the end of the year.
“I'm still convinced that a president will be elected before the end of this year,” Mashnouq said in an interview with NBN television.
The minister also denied reports of an internal vote among the members of the al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc on the presidential nomination of Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel Aoun, describing what happened as “consultations over the political choices that must be endorsed.”
