Beirut : A parliamentary vote to elect Lebanon’s president has been delayed for a 14th time.
The speaker of the Lebanese parliament, Nabih Berri, said the vote was now scheduled for February 26.
Lebanon has been without a president since November 23 due to the opposition demand for veto power in the parliament.
IRNA reporter in Beirut said that the opposition demand requires an amendment to the Constitution to be made by the legislature.
Meanwhile, Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa has left Beirut after failing to mediate a solution to the crisis.
Moussa has been to Lebanon three times this year to promote a plan calling for the election of the Lebanese army chief, General Michel Suleiman, as president.
Rival Lebanese factions have agreed in principle to elect General Suleiman, but have repeatedly disagreed over constitutional details and the make-up of the cabinet.
The deadlock over the president is Lebanon’s worst political crisis since the country’s long civil war ended in 1990.
