Maronite Bishops Call for Efficient Government and Fair Election Law
The Maronite Bishops called on Wednesday for the formation of an efficient government and the stipulation of a fair election law after the election of a new president.
They congratulated newly elected President Michel Aoun, highly appreciating the efforts exerted by all parties to end the presidential vacuum.
“The new president included in his oath of office his eagerness for Lebanon's stability on the political, security, social, economic, and administrative levels,” the bishops said in a statement following their meeting under the chairmanship of Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi in Bkirki.
They also urged for a “swift formation of a new capable and effective government,” as well as a new election law that would guarantee fair representations for all sides.
