by Daily star lebanon BEIRUT: National Liberal Party head Dory Chamoun Wednesday called for presidential candidate Michel Aoun to release his medical records to prove he is physically and mentally fit to run the country.

“If someone wanted to sell his land and he was over 80, he is required to provide a medical record proving he is mentally and physically healthy. What would be the case if this person wanted to the rule the country,” Chamoun told reporters after attending the 45th failed attempt by Parliament to elect a new president.

When asked by a reporter whether he was referring to Aoun, the 81-year-old founder of the Free Patriotic Movement, he responded: “I am older than him by three years.” “This medical record needs to prove that he is healthy enough to work at least 10 hours a day. This needs to be put into law,” Chamoun told reporters.
