Beirut: A parliamentary session to elect Lebanon's president was postponed from tomorrow to March 11 due to continued deadlock between rival political leaders, the speaker s office said today.
"Parliament speaker Nabih Berri decided to postpone Tuesday s electoral session to Monday, March 11 at noon," a statement said.
The decision to postpone the vote for the 15th time since September came following a failed new bid by Arab League chief Amr Mussa to break the deadlock between the Western-backed majority and the Hezbollah-led opposition.
Lebanon has been without a president since November, when pro-Syrian Emile Lahoud stepped down at the end of his mandate with no elected successor because of the deadlock between the pro- and anti-Syrian camps.
