Hezbollah official slams March 14
This resignation comes as Lebanon’s
political parties remain deadlocked over
which electoral law to adopt for the
parliamentary elections scheduled for
June.
Hezbollah official Nabil Qawouk on
Sunday launched a broadside against the
pro-Western March 14 alliance, accusing it
of maneuvering to keep the 1960 electoral
law on the books.
“[March 14] engaged in a policy of
procrastination to [force] the Lebanese
elections to be held under the 1960 law…
in a deliberate act to [stop] a law that
would not give it a majority,” the National
News Agency quoted him as saying.
Meanwhile, the leader of Hezbollah’s
parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad,
called for the next Lebanese cabinet to
uphold the formula of the unity of the
Lebanese people, army and Resistance.
Concerns over a political vacuum in
Lebanon emerged following Prime
Minister Najib Miqati’s stepping down
from his office last week.
