"Speaker Nabih Berri has an**unced May 15 as the next date for a parliament session, given the lack of quorum Wednesday," said a statement published by the official National News Agency. President Michel Sleiman's mandate expires on May 25, and Leba**n is coming close to being left without a president at all, given the lack of consensus between the country's two rival blocs, one led by Hezbollah and the other by pro-Western parties. Leba**n is sharply divided over the conflict in neighbouring Syria, where Hezbollah is fighting alongside Syrian troops.
