Official results of the Lebanese Parliamentary elections
by Malek el Khazen —
1- Today Hezbollah and Amal plus their close allies such as Jamil el Sayyed, Azar and others form a total of 43 Member Parliament’s (MP’s) out of the 128 MP’s seats in the Lebanese Parliament. This is without counting the MP’s from the Tayyar (Free Patriotic Movement). The Hezbollah-Amal coalition represent 1/3 of the parliament. This is an increase of approx 12 MP’s from last parliamentary election. This means no major laws can pass without the support of Hezbollah and Amal to these laws. They control 27 of the 28 Chi’a MP position in the Lebanese Parliament. And possibly the only Chi’ite MP that was elected outside of their list will soon join them (he met today with Amal leader).
2- The Lebanese-Forces have done very well for their party, but in terms Lebanese control, Hezbollah and Amal are the big winner. Now the Amal coalition is asking for the Ministry of Finance to be always assigned to a Chi’a – What is next?
3- The Future Movement under the leadership of PM Hariri and the Free Patriotic Movement under leadership of Bassil had disappointing results to say the least. Both parties are in power, in all of the different branches of the Lebanese Government and they did not have clear decisive wins. The resources of many candidates that was running against them were extremely limited compared to the resources that they had access to. For example, some of the resources owned by the FPM and Future movement: TV and Radio Stations in addition to major internet sites and newspapers. Finally, they were still part of the government, and had access to many Lebanese institutions supporting them. While others had limited resources compared to their power and still were able to win. Whoever says that they were able to keep their representation at the same level as it is today or have a majority of Member Parliament together is not looking at the correct picture accurately. Other parties have expanded their reach dramatically by more than 30% while they are stagnating (FPM) or diminishing (Future movement)
4- The diaspora really need to take the next elections seriously, this will be the only hope for a real change. A reminder, there is over 15 million Lebanese live in the diaspora. Just imagine if only 1 million register what type of changes can be made! But if Hezbollah and Amal or other parties decide to stop supporting diaspora voting then the future is grim.
