The session was scheduled for Tuesday.

The Parliament Secretariat said Monday that if the political situation improves, the day for the important session would be drawn closer than the new announcement.

Since the presidential vacuum last November, Lebanon went into a political limbo despite the opposition and majority agreement on electing the army’s head, General Michel Suleiman as president.

The point of conflict lies in the majority’s demand for electing Suleiman at once and the opposition calls for a comprehensive plan to end the presidential dispute.
