Parliament fails to convene again over quorum
BEIRUT: A delayed Parliament session failed to convene for the second time due to lack of quorum Tuesday and was postponed until the end of this month, extending the country’s political deadlock.
Boycotting the session were the Free Patriotic Movement, the Future Movement, the Lebanese Forces, the Kataeb party, independent March 14 MPs and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
The parliament’s sessions expected to be held over three days were rescheduled to begin on July 29.
