Hezbollah Denies Official Working for Presidential Candidate Not Publicly Endorsed: Statement

Related FileThe statement indicated that the Nida Al-Watan fabricated story claimed that Hezbollah Coordination and Liaison Official Hajj Wafiq Safa is secretly working in favor of a presidential candidate other the one publicly endorsed by the Party.

The statement stressed that the content of the story is full of completely baseless and untrue claims.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah clearly announced in March, 2023, that the members of the Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc will vote for the Head of Marada Movement Sleiman Franjiyeh.

It is worth noting that the Lebanese parliament convened 12 times to elect a new president amid lack of a considerable consensus needed to secure 65 votes for one of the candidates to win in the second round.

Political calculations and foreign interventions have prevented some Lebanese parties from responding positively to the call of the House Speaker Nabih Berri pertaining to the national dialogue aimed at reaching the needed consensus.
