PSP Delegation Holds Electoral Law Talks with Hariri

Prime Minister Saad Hariri met Monday evening at the Center House with a delegation from the Progressive Socialist Party, Hariri's office said.

The delegation comprised Taymur Jumblat, Minister Ayman Shuqeir and the MPs Ghazi Aridi and Wael Abu Faour and the meeting was held in the presence of Nader Hariri, the premier's adviser, the office added.

The meeting tackled “the ongoing contacts with the various parties to devise a new draft electoral law,” it said.

“The delegation explained the content of the draft law that has been proposed by the party in this regard.”

The PSP had on Saturday proposed a hybrid electoral law that mixes the proportional representation and winner-takes-all systems in an equal manner across 26 districts.
