Hizbullah Bloc Urges Agreement on Electoral Law within 'Few Days'
Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc on Thursday urged all political forces to agree on a new electoral law “in the next few days.”
“The bloc considers that the political forces have taken enough time to mull the proposed electoral law formats, and it has become obligatory for all parties to agree on a final format in the next few days,” said the bloc in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.
It said that the new law should “consolidate and protect coexistence, equal power-sharing between Christians and Muslims, and correct, fair, effective and comprehensive representation.”
“In this regard, the bloc stresses that the national interest for all of the country's components requires a national approach that rises above the details of numbers and sizes that have never represented a guarantee for any component,” Loyalty to Resistance added.
It also reiterated that a law fully based on proportional representation is the format that conforms to “the stipulations of the constitution and the Document of National Accord and grants equal opportunities to all components while abiding by equal power-sharing.”
