Berri: I Won't Reject Any Electoral Law that Enjoys Christian Agreement
Speaker Nabih Berri stated on Wednesday that he will support any Christian agreement over a parliamentary electoral law.
He said: “I will not reject any law that enjoys the agreement of all Christian powers.”
He made his remarks after his weekly meeting with lawmakers.
The speaker said that the joint committees will convene soon in order to study the government's electoral draft law.
“The government's law adheres to the standards mentioned in the Taef Accord,” noted Berri.
The cabinet had approved an electoral law based on 13 electoral districts and proportional representation.
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi had granted disputed Christian political powers ten days to resolve their differences over the electoral law, reported the daily An Nahar on Wednesday.
