Aoun signs electoral funds law, says all measures taken to hold timely vote
President Michel Aoun on Thursday signed a law adopted by parliament for including the expenses of the May 15 parliamentary polls in the 2022 state budget, the Presidency said.
Separately, Aoun met in Baabda with the head of the European Union Election Observation Mission Lebanon 2022, Gyorgy Holvenyi, and reassured him that “all measures have been taken in order to hold the elections on time, in an atmosphere of freedom, democracy and transparency.”
“Efforts are ongoing to resolve the obstacles facing this important constitutional juncture, despite the difficult economic and financial circumstances that Lebanon is going through,” Aoun added.
He also noted that the failure to approve electoral megacenters for the May elections might lead to a lower voter turnout in light of the transportation difficulties stemming from the country’s severe economic and financial crisis.
Moreover, Aoun asked the EU observation mission to monitor expat voting, noting that it will be only the second time that emigrants take part in the their country’s elections after “the 2018 achievement.”

Of course, any act that benefits the occupying Basij will be signed by their puppet. Now that the election is in their pocket due to the stupidity, greed and incompetence of Thawra and fake M14 leaders. God protect Lebanon after election legitimizing the occupier and solidifying their hold on parliament. Army and Justice are next on their list. Time for divorce and rethinking of a smaller Lebanon including Mount Lebanon, Shouf and Sunni North and East. If Cypress is part of EU, so New Lebanon. Shia cannot have the cake and eat it too! Imam Moussa Saddr's shia silence is deafening and unacceptable. Live free in a democratic state or old Lebanon should die!
