AMAL Urges 70% Turnout in South Elections

An AMAL Movement lawmaker on Sunday urged a 70% turnout in the electoral districts of the South in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

“We are all invited to take part in the upcoming parliamentary vote to say that all people of the South are representatives of this political project,” MP Hani Qobeissi of the Development and Liberation bloc said, referring to the AMAL-Hizbullah political alliance.

“Should 55% of voters take part in the upcoming elections, conspirators will say that the 45% who did not vote are against our project. Some are conspiring against this country and sending some feudal figures to form lists,” Qobeissi added.

“We are invited to defend our project and martyrs,” the MP went on to say.

Urging a “70 percent” turnout, Qobeissi noted that “90% of the people of the South support the resistance culture and the AMAL-Hizbullah alliance.”
