BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Lebanon's Interior Ministry says 51 candidates will be competing to win 21 seats representing south Lebanon in the 128-member Lebanese parliament.
The Saturday announcement was made after the midnight deadline for candidates to submit their applications.
Two candidates, notably Bahiya Hariri, the sister of slain former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and Osama Saad, a member of the Popular Nasserite Party, were uncontested, leaving 21 seats for competition.
So far, 11 candidates have won uncontested seats, including nine representing Beirut and figuring on the electoral list of Saad Hariri, the son of the slain premier.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - At 35 and presiding over a multibillion dollar business empire, Saadeddine Hariri was a stranger to Lebanon's intricate and sometimes violent politics. But the massive bombing that killed his father and shook a nation to its core three months ago also thrust him to the political forefront.
For Saad, as he's better known here, it has been a crash course in politics since the Feb. 14 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri
