International

BEIRUT,(ST)_Lebanese Parliament voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to extend its own term of office by another two years and seven months, news agencies reported.

Of the 97 lawmakers, 95 voted in favor for the extension, while two opposed during the Parliamentary session chaired by the Speaker Nabih Berri.

The Beirut-based al-Manar TV channel said: “Christian MPs from the Free Patriotic Movement and the Kataeb Party boycotted the vote while Marada Movement and Tashnag Party representatives in the bloc attended the session.”

It added that members of Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh’s bloc voted for the extension as Tashnag’s two lawmakers voted against it.
