The Lebanese parliament fails to elect a new president after the fourth attempt

 

Lebanese parliament

The Lebanese parliament failed again to elect a new president on Monday.

It was the fourth such attempt, raising fears that President Michel Aoun's term in office on October 31 will expire would end in a presidential vacuum. .

There are seven days until the end of Mr Aoun's term in office, although no clear successor has yet emerged.

Speaker Nabih Berri has tentatively called a fifth session of the 128-seat chamber through Thursday, although the date may change later.

A presidential candidate needs a two-thirds majority in the first ballot to secure victory, and an absolute majority is required in subsequent rounds.
