Hariri Hails 2017 'Achievements', Vows 'Timely, Fair' Elections
Prime Minister Saad Hariri has acknowledged that the past year was “difficult,” while noting that it involved “achievements” for the country.
Efforts in 2018 “will be focused on restoring confidence in the state,” Hariri said in a TV interview.
“I promise the Lebanese that the elections will be timely and fair,” the premier added, referring to the May 2018 parliamentary polls, which for the first time in Lebanon’s history will be held under a proportional representation system.
“The Lebanese people must take part in the upcoming parliamentary elections and they should vote heavily for those whom they believe are eligible of being in power,” Hariri went on to say, pointing out that the results of the polls cannot be predicted in advance.
