Lahoud backs Aoun as successor
President Emile Lahoud voiced support Saturday for the Lebanese opposition and for Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) leader MP Michel Aoun to succeed him as president. "I support the opposition because it has the political values in which I believe," Lahoud told Al-Aalam television. Urging Aoun to remain "steadfast," Lahoud said the FPM leader was bringing the Lebanese people closer to one another: "I agree Aoun should become the next president."
