MP Robert Fadel submitted his written and official resignation on Wednesday and stressed that he will not carry on his duties as a lawmaker but at the same time assured that he will not give up on politics.

“From now on, I consider myself a resigned MP and I will not carry out my duties as a lawmaker,” said Fadel after submitting his resignation to the parliament's general secretariat.

“However, I have not resigned from my political work for the sake of my country,” he added.

The Tripoli MP announced late in May his resignation from parliament, protesting the surprising results of the municipal elections in the northern city in which no Christian candidates managed to win seats on the municipal council.

A list backed by resigned Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi clinched 18 seats on the municipal council.

Christian and Alawite candidates representing the city's two minorities failed to win any seats, which is a first in the history of Tripoli's municipal elections.

“My resignation gives me freedom and allows me to play a bigger role in reforming the political culture in Lebanon,” concluded the MP.
