Bassil Says Amendments Appeal Shouldn’t Affect Elections

Free Patriotic Movement head Jebran Bassil said Tuesday that his bloc insists on holding the elections on time.

Bassil said after the Strong Lebanon bloc’s weekly meeting that the bloc will file an appeal “against the amendments” and not against the entire electoral law.

“There is no problem with the deadlines,” Bassil said, asking the Lebanese parties to stop “the blame game, every time a party wants to exercise its right.”

Bassil added that the appeal “will not affect the administrative procedures for the elections’ preparations.”
