Former Lebanese President Amin Gemayel on Tuesday revealed that there are differences among the ruling majority regarding the re-election of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, LBC TV reported.

"The ruling majority is not in full agreement on reelecting Nabih Berri as Parliament Speaker. The final decision will be made after consultations," Gemayel said at a press conference.

The recent Lebanese parliamentary elections on June 7 granted victory to the ruling majority who defeated the Hezbollah-led opposition. A new Parliament Speaker must be elected as of June 21 and would be followed by a new cabinet.

Gemayel added that there are objections to Berri's past position when he considered the previous government as illegitimate, and closed the parliament, hindering the presidential elections.

Berri, a Shiite Parliament Speaker, is the main ally of the Lebanese Shiite armed group Hezbollah.

Prior to the election of President Michel Suleiman in May 2008, a political deadlock prevailed when Shiite ministers resigned from the cabinet. However, Lebanese leaders in Doha agreed on May 21 to elect consensus president Suleiman after six months of vacancy in the post.

According to the Lebanese constitution, the Lebanese President should be a Christian, the Parliament Speaker a Shiite and the Prime Minister a Sunni.
