(KUNA) -- Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri Friday postponed anew a special session that was supposed to elect a new president tomorrow until December 29. "Speaker Berri has decided to postpone the session that was scheduled for tomorrow until Saturday December 29," the parliament's secretariat said in a statement. This is the 10th delay made by Berri for a special session that is designed to gather all MPs to elect the new president, but the majority and opposition are still at odds over the presidential issue. Lebanon has been witnessing a presidential vacuum since former President Emile Lahoud's tenure expired on November 24. |
