Gemayel rejects new Electoral Law

Share:

Phalange Party’s Central Committee Coordinator MP Sami Gemayel, told MTV on Wednesday that he rejects the draft electoral law adopted by the cabinet, stressing that it was tailored to serve the electoral interests of the ruling Hezbollah led March 8 coalition and predicting that “it will be defeated in parliament.”

Gemayel called on the Free Patriotic Movement to “shoulder its responsibilities concerning what was agreed on in the Bkirki committee, “as it cannot disregard what we worked on for six months as if it never happened.”

His comments come after Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said during a press conference on Wednesday that the new electoral law favors March 8 alliance and called for smaller electoral districts to ensure proper representation during the 2013 parliamentary election.

On Tuesday Lebanon’s Cabinet approved an electoral draft law that called for proportional representation and divided the country into 13 districts.

Lebanon was divided into the following electoral districts:

Beirut 2, south Lebanon 2, Bekaa 3, north Lebanon 3 , Mount Lebanon 3.

The new electoral law was approved by the majority of ministers. Only ministers who represent PSP leader MP Walid Jumblatt’s bloc and State Minister Ali Qanso voted against it

Former Lebanese PM and current Future Movement leader MP Saad Hariri rejected the new electoral draft law and said it will not pass in parliament.

March 14 MP Ammar Houry told Voice of Lebanon on Wednesday : “The draft electoral law as approved by the cabinet is the law of sedition…. a preparation for a civil war…it is the draft law of Jalili and its representative “Hezbollah”.

    What does Hezbollah have to do with the Lebanese peoples votes counting for something? Why should 100,000 druze have the same vote count as lets say 500,000 Christians? or lets say 100,000 druze have the same vote sway as 500,000 sunni’s ?

      Why not allow them to vote for the MP that will do the JOB AND FIX THINGS for sunni Christian or Shiits or Druze be it 10 people or 1 million. This is why Lebanon will stay in the 10th century with the idea of who has more people…. LEBANESE LEBANESE LEBANESE SO THEY CAN FIX ROADS, HOSPITALS SCHOOLS AND SO ON NOT TO HELP THE ONE SECT THAT ELECT THEM only…… FUNNY SHIT PEOPLE COME UP WITH… LETS JUST HAVE 17 COUNTRIES IN LEBANON…… YOU CAN SUPPORT WHO YOU WANT AND VOTE WHO YOU WANT. But would you not vote for someone that will work for the COMMUNITY AS A WHOLEEEEEEEE, PEOPLE…..

      “…as if it never happened.”  To the hezbians it DID never happen.  You can’t give your credibility to a ‘criminal, outlaw’ group like the hezbians … time will deal them their final blow.  (Remember, keep a list of names so the hezbians can be properly dealt with when the time is right.)

    It is all useless whatever formula they devise. We have to re – educate our kids, and kids’ kids. about forgetting what sect they  are and to remind them, educate them, teach them that their only sect and religion is to be Lebanese. Until we do this which takes 2 generations, we have no chance. We need to break the mould.
