Head of al-Mustaqbal Movement Saad Hariri is expected to meet with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Monday in the Italian capital Rome.

Local newspapers published on Wednesday reported that the meeting will tackle the presidential impasse.

Lebanon has been without a president since May when the tenure of Michel Suleiman ended.

The majority of the March 8 alliance’s MPs have been causing a lack of quorum in sessions aimed at electing a president, leaving the country without a head of state.
