Final voter turnout for Lebanon’s municipal elections in Beirut Governorate is 21.03%.
44.90% in Baalbek-Hermel Governorate, and 42.84% in Bekaa Governorate.
Lebanese Interior Ministry
Lebanese MP and Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc member, Hussein Al-Hajj Hassan:
• “Today’s elections in Baalbek-Hermel and Bekaa governorates send a clear message that resistance is deeply rooted in its land and community”.
• “Isolating a Lebanese region or municipality is isolating all of Lebanon; the state bears responsibility for all its citizens”.
• “Election results are strong and positive, confirming the widespread popular support for Hezbollah and Amal Movement”.
Though the turnout for Bekaa and Baalbek-Hermel Governorates seems to be impressively positive for the country, it comes down to the results Beirut yielded.
And those do not invoke the feeling of hope for the country as it lacks a relatable, reliable, and inclusive government.
Lebanese Presidency Denies Intent Behind Aoun–Tarif Handshake
The Lebanese Presidency clarified that President Joseph Aoun unknowingly shook hands with Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the Druze spiritual leader in “Israel”, during the pope’s inaugural mass.
It said Aoun did not recognize Tarif and the Israeli media deliberately misrepresented the encounter. The statement reaffirmed Lebanon’s rejection of normalization and called the photo part of a familiar Israeli media tactic.
This fake PM in speech of today said,
“Hezbollah is entitled to political involvement, but only the state should control arms.
Hezbollah must accept the concept of state authority …
We await Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ visit to Lebanon to discuss weapon control in refugee camps.”
