Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi called on Sunday for the formation of a new government that resolves the country’s economic and social problems and holds parliamentary elections on time. During his sermon, al-Rahi called for “dialogue and national reconciliation” to end the “divisions” among the country’s politicians. He said the politicians should first start with drafting a new electoral law that best represents the Lebanese and allows the citizen to participate in the polls without the influence of vote-buying. Such a law should respect coexistence and the division of shares between Muslims and Christians, al-Rahi said.
