Hezbollah to vote for Aoun in Lebanese presidency election


(MENAFN) The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, said on Sunday the door to electing a president was "wide open" and his members of parliament would vote for ally Michel Aoun at a parliamentary session.

In detail, Lebanon has been without a president for more than two years, part of a political crisis that has resulted in a breakdown in many basic services and concerns about the country's stability.

Lebanon's former Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said he would back Christian leader Aoun to be president.

Hariri stressed that his endorsement was a "political settlement" for the benefit of the whole country.
