Aoun and Salam stress commitment to timely parliamentary elections
President Joseph Aoun on Wednesday discussed with Interior Minister Ahmad al-Hajjar the ongoing preparations for the upcoming parliamentary elections, stressing “the need to hold them on time in May.”
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam for his part emphasized “firm commitment to holding timely elections, without any postponement or delay.”
He added that he vows to “guarantee the right of all Lebanese, including expats, to fair and transparent voting” and to “provide a safe electoral environment that allows the Lebanese to participate freely, especially our people in the South, where those who lost their homes and villages cannot be punished through depriving them of their right to vote.”
