President Michel Suleiman lashed out on Saturday at Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun for refusing to elect a new consensus president. Aoun said earlier in a live Twitter and Facebook session that experience “doesn’t encourage” accepting this compromise again.  Suleiman later slammed via twitter the FPM leader’s comments, saying: "At least everyone asks a consensus president to accept the post and he doesn’t need to beg for presidency." Aoun during the live session urged that the president should have a parliamentary bloc “that would impose its presence.”

He voiced his support for the adoption of an electoral law based on proportional representation. [Link]
