Army chief Joseph Aoun elected Lebanon's president after 2-year deadlock

Описание: Lebanon's army chief Joseph Aoun was elected president in the second round of the presidential vote held on Thursday.

His victory marks the end of more than two years of presidential vacancy in Lebanon.

Following the election, Aoun entered the parliament building in downtown Beirut to swear his oath before lawmakers and deliver an inaugural speech.

Political division in Lebanon resulted in a vacant presidential position following the end of former President Michel Aoun's term on Oct. 31, 2022.

The parliament had failed to elect a president for the country in 12 electoral sessions.

A caretaker government has been running the country during the presidential vacuum.
