Tony Franjieh: Sleiman Franjieh is the Firm Candidate and His Withdrawal is Out of the Question

MP Tony Franjieh confirmed that "the approach we are working to establish is one that solidifies the state, develops its institutions, and restores citizens' trust in it. This is what the head of the 'Mardeh Movement,' Sleiman Franjieh, will strive to affirm if he reaches the presidency, away from all the campaigns launched against 'Mardeh' and its leader personally by claiming that he has no representative status among Christians or by attempting to portray his presidential nomination as limited to the Shiite community. This is in clear contradiction to the truth that Franjieh enjoys solid support from 'Hezbollah' and 'Amal Movement' and also has wide support from parliamentary blocs and deputies from various sects and denominations." Regarding the presidential file, Franjieh stated during a meeting with members and supporters of the 'Mardeh Movement' in Australia via Zoom that "the withdrawal of the head of 'Mardeh' is out of the question at this time. He is the only serious and steadfast candidate since the vacancy began until now, and Franjieh's allies possess the virtue of loyalty and continue to support his candidacy."
