After two years of deadlock, Lebanon's parliament has elected the country's new president.
Army chief Gen. Joseph Aoun, who has been commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces since 2017, secured 99 votes out of 128 during the second round of a parliament session called by its speaker, Nabih Berri. During the first round of voting earlier on Thursday, Aoun received 71 votes, short of the 86 required to become president. It was the 13th time MPs had voted on the matter.
Lebanon has been without a president since Michel Aoun's term ended in October 2022.
