@Alaxdar I mixed up the OLJ articles about Frangieh and Frem, but it still doesn’t make much sense to list Frem in the first table when Frem has said he is supporting Aoun instead, and he will only continue in the race if Aoun isn't elected: Le député Neemat Frem (Kesrouan), qui s'était officiellement porté candidat il y a un peu moins d'un mois à la présidence du Liban, a annoncé mercredi qu'il soutenait l'élection du commandant en chef de l'armée, Joseph Aoun, à la magistrature suprême.^[1] The same logic applies to Geagea: C’est surtout la position des Forces libanaises qui était entourée de flou. Car s’il était un des premiers à proposer le nom de Joseph Aoun en tant que candidat de consensus, le chef de ce parti, Samir Geagea, détenant le plus large bloc de la Chambre, a voulu profiter de l’affaiblissement du Hezbollah à la suite de la dernière guerre avec Israël pour remettre sur le tapis sa propre candidature. Sauf qu’il a fini par avaliser officiellement l’option Joseph Aoun, lui assurant ainsi une couverture chrétienne mais aussi un feu vert de l’opposition dans son ensemble. C’est ce message que les anti-Hezbollah ont voulu adresser à leurs adversaires en choisissant Meerab pour annoncer leur position officielle dans un communiqué publié mercredi soir à l’issue d’une large réunion parlementaire.^[2] Docentation (talk) 00:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While Joseph Aoun is the leader of the LAF, I can't seem to find any sources stating the LAF is functioning as a political party in the election. Is he registered under the LAF in official documents? It definitely needs a citation in any case, and absent that his affiliation should be changed to independent. CitrusHemlock 02:18, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed that before, but someone must have put it back. cf 58: Chehab’s listed as independent (correctly). Docentation (talk) 19:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
