An indirect presidential election was held in the Parliament of Lebanon on 24 November 1989, resulting in Deputy Elias Hrawi being elected President of the Lebanese Republic.
By convention, the presidency is always attributed to a Maronite Christian. Under the article 49 of the Lebanese Constitution, a qualified majority of two-thirds of the members of the then 99-seat Lebanese Parliament is required to elect the president in the first round. After the second round of election, the president is elected by an absolute majority of the total deputies of the chamber.[1]
Elias Hrawi, a deputy representing Zahlé, was supported by Syria and promised to sign into law the Taif Accord (constitutional changes to end the Civil War, and give Muslims a greater say in the government than before), and was elected on the 24 November 1989 by 47 of the 52 attending MPs.
