Wide political division over Lebanese presidential candidate

BEIRUT - On the eve of the session to elect the Lebanese president, it seems that General Joseph Aoun, the candidate of the international quintet will fail not only in the first round as he doesn’t obtain the required 86 parliamentary votes, but also in the second round, which requires 65 votes. It is because his election will require a constitutional amendment in his capacity as commander of the Lebanese army.
