Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea to MTV: We must congratulate all Lebanese who have been waiting for a long time, and what comes after this election will be different, as for the first time, we are not electing a president at the hands of the resistance and the Syrian regime
Geagea to MTV: We must all work together to facilitate the mission of the new era, as Lebanon cannot be in a worse situation than it was, and the mere arrival of Joseph Aoun to the presidency marks the beginning of a new phase; I do not wish to use words like defeat and collapse
Geagea to MTV: We have had a working relationship with General Joseph Aoun for 8 years, with the first point of contact being on October 17, and he did not respond to all the pressures exerted by Aoun, Bassil, and Hezbollah to go to the streets and confront the revolution
Geagea to MTV: We would have preferred for political life in Lebanon to take its natural course, and while we are happy with what happened today, it is not ideal, as politicians should hold political positions, and military figures should hold military positions
US President Joe Biden extended his congratulations to President Joseph Aoun, saying: "Joseph Aoun will provide decisive leadership as Lebanon and Israel fully implement the ceasefire, and he has my confidence. I firmly believe he is the right leader."
