16:13 GMT 31.10.2016 (Updated: 16:14 GMT 31.10.2016) On October 31, after more than two years of political stalemate, Lebanon's parliament elected General Michel Aoun as the new president.
The Lebanese parliament took 45 failed attempts to elect a president who, according to the country's Constitution, can only be a Maronite Christian. However, the 46th attempt proved successful, with General Michel Aoun securing votes from 83 out of 126 lawmakers in Parliament.
