MP Raad: Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc wants a presidential candidate who endorses the Resistance
Head of Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc Mohammad Raad said on Friday that his bloc wants a presidential candidate who fully endorses the Resistance.

He also voiced hopes that the presidential elections would take place on their due time, adding that only a man who would defend the Resistance could be elected president.

"Any divergence from the choice of the Resistance is a choice that threatens national sovereignty and places the country once more at the brink of chaos," he concluded by saying.

Two weeks ago, Lebanese Christian politician Samir Geagea announced he will run for president in an election due next month, the first candidate to formally enter a race overshadowed by growing violence and months of political paralysis.

President Michel Sleiman's six-year term ends in late May. Parliament must approve his successor with a two-thirds majority.

Heavily influenced by the war in neighboring Syria, and host to more than a million refugees, Lebanon has struggled to control a deterioration in security and an economic slowdown.

In February, Lebanon formed a new government, breaking a 10-month political deadlock during which a caretaker government with limited powers was in charge.

Many Lebanese hope that a working government and the election of a new president will bring stability and leadership.

But rivalries persist between the Hezbollah-dominated March 8 bloc and the March 14 alliance led by the mainly Sunni Muslim Future Party.
