Aoun Pushes for Approval of New 'Just' Electoral Law
President Michel Aoun stressed on Friday the need to approve a new electoral law that ensures just representation for all parties before the parliamentary polls deadline, the National News Agency reported.
Aoun assured that his stance was not against any sect or political faction, NNA added.
“The aim of my position is to respect the National Pact, the Constitution and to strengthen national unity,” Aoun said, speaking in front of guests at the Presidential Palace in Baabda.
He called on all parties to do their best in order to formulate a new law that would ensure proper representation for all Lebanese.
“If there is an electoral law format that ensures justice more than proportional representation does, let it be placed for discussion,” concluded Aoun.
