Christian leaders meeting in Bkirki on Wednesday decided not to submit any nomination for a parliamentary elections based on the 1960’s law, announcing the suspension of discussions over the Orthodox Gathering’s proposal. "The leaders consider that the 1960’s law further strengthens injustice against Christians,” a released statement after the meeting explained.

Bkirki Spokesperson Walid Ghayyad added that Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel will be asked to stop receiving candidacies for an elections based on this law. Meanwhile, Free Patriotic Movement MP Alain Aoun said after the meeting that legal means will be looked into to halt the nomination process. Ghayyad told reporters that discussions over the Orthodox proposal will be suspended until the time limit for submitting nominations is over.
