Aoun: Electoral money requires intervention of supervisory commission, judiciary
President Michel Aoun on Tuesday said that the “use of electoral money by some candidates” requires the intervention of the Supervisory Commission for Elections and the judiciary.
“All measures have been taken to hold the elections in an atmosphere of transparency and freedom, and the increase in the nominations of women is a positive issue which we hope would improve further in the next elections,” Aoun told a delegation from the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).
The head of the OIF delegation for her part lauded Aoun’s “keenness on the elections” and said that “democracy must be implemented with all due freedom and transparency.”
Aoun’s political heir-apparent and son-in-law Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil had on Monday launched a vehement attack on the Lebanese Forces and the Kataeb Party, reiterating accusations that they are violating the regulations of electoral spending.
