Lebanese Forces Party leader Samir Geagea condemned Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri’s new proposal for electing a president, which includes a three-step process: "consultation, consensus, and election."
Geagea argued that this approach effectively undermined the presidential election process, turning it into a mere formality after consultations and agreements.
“This strategy disregards the constitution’s clear mandate for direct elections and transforms the parliament into a "loya jirga" rather than a functional legislative body,” Geagea said, criticizing the new proposal as a continuation of the old "Army, People, Resistance" formula, which he believes has compromised Lebanon’s military and state functions.
