Nassib Lahoud signs petition to oust Emile
2006-03-06
Democratic Renewal Party leader Nassib Lahoud signed the national petition Sunday that was initiated by the March 14 Forces as a campaign to oust President Emile Lahoud. Lahoud signed the public petition in the presence of the representatives of the various parties making up the anti-Syrian March 14 Forces. The March 14 Forces are hoping to secure more than one million signatures for the petition, now one week old. Lahoud said changing the president is "fundamental for salvaging the country."

Lahoud, who said he would be willing to run for president if the March 14 Forces pick him, said that the current national dialogue would not be wrapped up soon but "will take its time since what is needed is an equation for a new national consensus based on the convictions that will hopefully make Lebanon prosperous." He believed that change in the presidency "has become a very urgent demand and the dialogue itself proves how a president who is a capable authority is needed to draft a national accord that the Lebanese people need."
