After Geagea’s endorsement can Aoun now beat Franjieh in a 2-man presidential race

Share:

franjieh and Patriarch raiMarada Movement leader Suleiman Franjieh held talks on Monday night with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rai , hours after Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea nominated his rival Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun as president.

Franjieh tweeted after the talks in Bkirki: β€œI am still going ahead with my candidacy for the presidency.”

Franjieh’s nomination was part of a proposal launched in late 2015 by former PM and Future Movement leader MP Saad Hariri.

Geagea, who was the presidential candidate of the March 14 camp nominated his rival Aoun for the country’s top post earlier on Monday .

His action was seen as a reaction to Hariri’s nomination of the Marada leader.

β€œI declare, after thorough assessment among the LF, the nomination of MP Michel Aoun as president.” Geagea said and called on his allies in March 14 to endorse Aoun for president during his press conference following his meeting with Aoun.

Aoun thanked Geagea for his endorsement

” We will not forget what Geagea has presented for Lebanon.” He said
β€œWe support all the principles that Geagea had stipulated.” He stressed
β€œOn this historic day, I believe we will be able to achieve what we have pledged”, Aoun added.

Aoun / Franjieh race

aoun frangieh

Most observers that that Ya Libnan spoke to are of the opinion that this endorsement does not in any shape or form guarantee the Baabda seat for Aoun specially since the Lebanese Forces may not have any support within its March 14 alliance for this move.

Without the support of his allies within the March 14 alliance Geagea will only be able to deliver his handful of LF MPS .

On the other hand Aoun will lose the support of Franjieh’s MPs if the Marada chief sticks to his new stance .

MP Jumblatt whose parliamentary bloc has more MPS than both Geagea and Franjieh will most probably side with Franjieh, specially since he was instrumental in convincing Hariri to back Franjieh’s candidacy .

Speaker Nabih Berri has reportedly given the MPs of his parliamentary bloc the freedom to chose the candidate they wanted.

Based on the above scenarios the numbers don’t add up for Aoun

The 35th election session is scheduled for February 8, 2016.

The question on everyone’s mind is : “Will Hezbollah and Aoun’s MPs show up this time ?”

One observer told Ya Libnan:

β€œIt will be interesting to find out what is the fine print in the deal between Aoun and Geagea.” The observer added: The only think that united Geagea and Aoun is their hatred to Franjieh after all.

    You forget that AOUN NEVER WANTED TO ‘RUN’ … He wanted to be Crowned.

  2. The death match between an octogenarian Hezbollah stooge and a fairly spry Assad stooge will be fun to watch.

      Hezbollah stooge? may be… He is known to change colors overnight but I take issue with octogenarian as it sound discriminatory against older people. Have you forgotten that fruits are ripe with age and wisdom comes with the years?
      Besides, we need a president who would champion building a BIG wall around Lebanon and throwing the Syrians back into Syria and the Palestinians back into Palestine where they belong.

      1. I didn’t mean to sound discriminatory against chronologically challenged people. Only against the mentally challenged ones. πŸ™‚
        As to the second part of your comment, if you really believe he will – or even can – do any of this, then you must be talking about somebody else, not Aoun. And even in that case it would still be a pipe dream.

        1. Hannibal Avatar

          ok then do not despair… How about the Syrians into Palestine and the Palestinians into Syria? Will that work?

          1. Nah. Too complicated. How about “everything stays in place, with the exception of some furniture in the Baabda”? Sounds much more realistic to me.

          7. Yep. Calling a piece of crap a piece of crap is a reflection of the “ego” of the caller.

          8. In fact, I meant you, but I wouldn’t hesitate calling a Jewish piece of crap by her/his true name either.
            P.S. Do you actually believe this moron actually killed Jesus? I wonder, cause you’re so maliciously dim-witted that one just wouldn’t put it past you.

          10. I love it when degenerates like you write “you have no real Jewish values” while posting videos entitled “This is why people hate the Jews, Pt. 5”. But then, on the other hand, given your abysmal level of stupidity, I probably shouldn’t do what I do normally and take it as a compliment. You’re probably only dimly aware of half the things you say and write, let alone of their meaning.

            They can’t steel from Jordan it’s a sovereign State, it was born in 1920 out of ‘Palestinian territories in British mandate for Palestine’. Jordan is the name of a River!!

            Jordan Valley are ‘Occupied territories’ in West Bank of the River Jordan.
            After the British helped Wahhabi extremist Ibn Saoud tribe conquer Arabia because of deals with Standard Oil-Rothschild, they gave the “East Bank of the River Jordan” (still the name in Arabic today): ”Shark el Ordon”. The Hashemite ruled Arabia for 900 yrs moved out of Arabia which became Saudi Arabia.

            In 1948 Nabka, Palestinians where expelled to Lebanon and Syria, Jordan annexed the territories to save what was left of Palestine.. http://www.kinghussein.gov.jo/his_palestine.html

            This crime will resonate in the minds and histories of humans for years to come. Until such time they start expanding beyond the borders of Palestine nobody is going to raise a finger. The dumb fuc|<s are busy settling a millennium old religious quarrel while the nation's land is being usurped. In my opinion Arab are "jarab" and moslem arabs are the worst when it comes to nation building. That qoran book of theirs is the reason of their demise. They deserve what they get.

            Palestinian social fabric was the only in Middle East were there was no cleavages, Christians were 23% of the population, today 1%. Sharon Mossad created Hamas.

          35. I wonder if Hamas knows that they are Jewish stooges.

            “How Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas” -The Wall Street Journal

            “When Israel first encountered Islamists in Gaza in the 1970s and ’80s, they seemed focused on studying the Quran, not on confrontation with Israel. The Israeli government officially recognized a precursor to Hamas called Mujama Al-Islamiya, registering the group as a charity. It allowed Mujama members to set up an Islamic university and build mosques, clubs and schools. Crucially, Israel often stood aside when the Islamists and their secular left-wing Palestinian rivals battled, sometimes violently, for influence in both Gaza and the West Bank”.

          37. First, why do America haters always quote American media when you think it is owned by Jews and the CIA? Second, it says Israel recognized Islamists. Does that mean that they founded it? Are Hamas blokes all undercover Mossad?
            Which is it? Did Israel found Hamas or did Hamas start as a defense of Jews organization? I am sure that Hamasniks will have much to say to this.

            WSJ article dates from 2009, Mossad didn’t found Hamas read the article.
            Mossad created Hamas as rival to secular PLO.

    What ever you think about Israel or Jews, don’t listen to Abyad. She’s a racist mental case who reads sources that are not reputable, cherry picks and comes up with a warped, poorly backed viewpoint. She is a bigot.
