Member of the "Democratic Gathering" bloc, MP Wael Abu Faour, stated that "if we are waiting for external movements regarding the presidency, this does not absolve us as political forces from our responsibilities to courageously engage in dialogue with one another and search for commonalities among us. This is the essence of the visits and meetings that the head of the Progressive Socialist Party, MP Taymour Jumblatt, is conducting with all political forces, as dialogue is the only way to seek consensus on the presidency and other electoral matters."
