Following his resignation on Thursday, Jumblatt, 73, called a party conference for June 25 to choose his successor, according to the Lebanese state news agency NNA. In 1977, Jumblatt became the PSP leader following the assassination of his father Kamal during the 15-year Lebanese civil war. PSP has a parliamentary bloc, known as the Democratic Gathering bloc, of nine lawmakers headed by his son Taymur Jumblatt.
