MP Michel Moawad wrote on X: "After 26 months of disruption and vacancy, congratulations to the Lebanese on electing General Joseph Aoun as President of the Republic. Let us support and accompany the new era, uniting around the oath speech to close a dark chapter of blood, destruction, hegemony, wars, emigration, violations of sovereignty, institutional collapse, economic destruction, poverty, humiliation, and isolation. Together, let us write a new, bright chapter based on sovereignty, state, stability, peace, justice, reform, prosperity, and hope."
