Michel Aoun and Samir Geagea, who fought each other in the dying years of the 1975-90 civil war, are both candidates for the Lebanese presidency that has been vacant since Michel Suleiman's term expired a year ago. The post is reserved for a Maronite Christian according to the country's sectarian power-sharing system.
