Berri says postponing elections 'out of question', south would vote despite ruins
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said that the municipal elections will not be postponed despite the devastation caused by more than 13-monthes of war with Israel.
"Postponing the elections is absolutely out of the question," Berri told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Thursday.
"We insist on holding the elections in all Lebanese territories, especially in the municipalities of the south that were destroyed by the Israeli aggression," Berri said, adding that voting can take place in any building in any nearby town.
"We will vote even if we have to do it on the ruins," he said.
