Prime Minister Saad Hariri began an unannounced visit on Thursday to the northern city of Tripoli as part of a tour to inspect the implementation of a number of developmental projects in the area.

“Saad Hariri will support any electoral law, regardless whether it is based on proportional representation or a hybrid system,” Hariri said.

“The other parties must offer concessions to reach an agreement on a law, seeing as it is shameful not to reach a new electoral law,” Hariri added.

And in remarks to al-Jadeed television, the premier said: “We have agreed on a new electoral law and the discussions are advanced and the elections will be held under the new law.”

Culture Minister Ghattas Khoury accompanied Hariri on his visit, Hariri's media office said.

Hariri was received by Ministers Mohammed Kabbara and Moein al-Merhbi in addition to several deputies, the governor of the north Ramzi Nohra, president of the municipality of Tripoli Ahmed Qamaruddin, president of al-Mina municipality Abdul Qader Alamuddin, the President of the Chamber of Commerce Tawfiq Dabbusi, clerics and a large crowd of citizens.

Al-Mustaqbal Movement political bureau member Moustafa Alloush stated on Thursday that Hariri's visit was only planned 24 hours ahead.

“It is normal to begin some preparations before the visit where Hariri is set to inaugurate some accomplished projects in the city and other projects that are still underway,” he said.

At 5:45 pm, Hariri is also sponsoring the opening of a wholesale vegetable market in Hamad street in Beirut.

As long as he doesnt just provide weapons, like Rifi the terrorist enabler.

I agree ya heretic! Only shia twelvers followers of wilayat al faqih like you should have weapons. How dare Rifi or Hariri do that.

The Shias dont use them to massacre civilians.

if you say so shia troll, if you say so.

They use weapons to liberate land and people from slavery like in Aleppo, Daraa, Yemen, Iraq among other places. They use weapons to spread the word of Hussain and avenge him and if in the meantime they happen to massacre thousands of women and children it is all collateral damage.

GTFO ya heretic!
