Aoun wants a strong president, may nominate Geagea ! NOVEMBER 30, 2013 ⋅ 5:52 PM Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun said a new president should be elected with the largest possible majority. Aoun’s remark was seen as a response to Marada movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh , a stanch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad who called on October 10, 2013 for electing a new president by simple majority instead of the two thirds majority. “Electing a president with a simple majority is dangerous,” Aoun said in remarks published by An-Nahar newspaper on Saturday. “The president should enjoy the widest possible consensus. He is unable to rule with a two-thirds majority, let alone 51 percent.” The FPM leader also voiced his rejection to any extension of the term of President Michel Suleiman, saying that it would be akin to “an extension of the political vacuum.” yalibnan/2013/11/30/aoun-wants-a-strong-president-may-nominate-geagea/
