Hariri: Tripoli Deserves our Support Regardless of the Circumstances
Mustaqbal Movement chief MP Saad Hariri congratulated on Monday the winners in the North municipal elections and stressed the need for efforts to be put together for the benefit of Tripoli.
“I urge everyone to work for the city's interest. We reiterate our respect for the democratic will of the people of Tripoli who chose their new municipal council,” said Hariri via Twitter.
Hariri urged the officials in Tripoli to “bypass their electoral alignments and facilitate the task of the elected council in the development of the city and solving its problems.”
He asserted: “Tripoli deserves that we put our effort and support together, whatever the circumstances.”
According to preliminary results, Hariri lost the municipal elections in the northern city of Tripoli to a list backed by resigned Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi.
Hariri's list was also backed by major powers in the city, including former Prime Minister Najib Miqati and former ministers Faisal Karami and Mohammed al-Safadi.
