Lebanon's Presidential Crisis: What's Next For The Country?

Shaniya Sanford

Could Lebanon, a nation grappling with profound political and economic turmoil, finally be on the cusp of a new era? The election of a new President could represent more than just a changing of the guard; it could signify a fundamental shift in the nation's trajectory.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri convened the chamber on Wednesday, June 14th, to undertake the critical task of electing a President of the Republic, a position that has remained vacant for eight long months. The void at the helm has exacerbated the country's existing woes, leaving citizens yearning for stability and decisive leadership. The Lebanese people find themselves caught between a sense of national duty and a pervasive feeling of helplessness as their nation navigates unprecedented challenges.

Education
  • Military Academy
Military Career
  • Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF): Aoun served as the Commander of the LAF, a position he held for several years before his purported election as president. This role involved overseeing the country's military operations, maintaining security, and responding to various internal and external threats.
Political Career
  • President of the Lebanese Republic (self-proclaimed): While some sources reported his election, it's crucial to note that this election and his claim to the presidency were widely disputed due to constitutional concerns.
Controversies and Disputes
  • Legality of Candidacy: Aoun's eligibility to run for president was challenged based on Article 49 of the Lebanese Constitution. This article stipulates that high-ranking civil servants or those who have held such positions within the past two years are ineligible for the presidency. As the incumbent Commander of the LAF, Aoun seemingly fell under this restriction.
  • Disputed Election: The circumstances surrounding his purported election have been questioned, with some sources describing it as a "forcing diplomatique" and others highlighting the constitutional obstacles. The lack of widespread recognition and the ongoing political crisis in Lebanon underscore the contested nature of his claim.
