Lebanon

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun said Tuesday that Jezzine witnessed the greatest electoral battle in Sunday's municipal and mayoral elections in the South, adding that Batroun will also witness the greatest battle in the elections in the North as all preparations for it are complete
He stated that the FPM did not withdraw from the Tannourine elections out of fear of losing, asking: "Will we eat the whole of Lebanon? We have become full."

The MP made his statements after his movement's weekly meeting.

Addressing the Jezzine election results, he said that they were "not bad" pointing out that 21 out of the 28 municipal heads in the town are affiliated with the FPM, while 11 out of 17 in al-Zahrani are affiliated with it.

In addition, he said that 180 municipal council members in Jezzine and 80 in al-Zahrani are also affiliated with the movement.

Aoun also addressed Liberation day, congratulating the Resistance and stressing: "We have steady trust in the Resistance fighters in that they are in constant readiness to thwart Israel from waging a war against Lebanon."

He added: "If it does launch one, victory will be ours as we have overcome the fear of death a long time ago."

"Our support for the Resistance is a solid national choice regardless of where we are politically," he concluded.
