Berri Rejects Reallocation of Some Seats if Polls are to be Held under 1960 Law
Speaker Nabih Berri has stressed that the upcoming legislative session will be held on May 15, noting that the political forces have been given a chance to agree on a new electoral law and avoid “vacuum.”
“Should we return to the 2008 law (1960 law), there are measures that should be quickly taken, including the formation of the electoral supervision committee,” Berri said.
“As for what some parties are raising about moving some parliamentary seats (from one district to another) as a precondition for holding the polls under the 1960 law, let them remove this idea from their heads,” the speaker added.
