Marada leader chief Suleiman Franjieh met Thursday with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi in Bkerki.
"I'm not Hezbollah's candidate, I'm seeking to be a consensual candidate," Franjieh said.
He added that he would accept to be elected with 65 votes, and that he would announce his candidacy once he senses that he can secure enough votes.
"I don't want to be a confrontational president," Franjieh said, asking if MP and presidential candidate Michel Mouawwad is consensual.
