Geagea Accuses FPM and Hizbullah of Seeking to Postpone Elections
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Monday accused the Free Patriotic Movement and Hizbullah of seeking to postpone the parliamentary elections scheduled for May.
“They are preparing a new plan to delay or postpone the elections through raising the issue of expat voting,” Geagea said in a press conference to announce the party’s candidates for parliamentary elections in the Metn district -- Melhem Riachi and Razi al-Hajj.
Geagea added that the sought postponement would happen through an urgent draft law that would be submitted by the FPM-led Strong Lebanon bloc and backed by Hizbullah.
