Geagea, Interlocutors Tackle Hour Issues

Beirut: Lebanese Forces (LF) Head Samir Geagea met on Thursday at his Maarab residence with "Future" Bloc member Hadi Hbeiche, where they tackled current hour issues. On emerging, Deputy Hbeiche voiced the Bloc's rejection of the postponement of upcoming parliamentary elections or the return to 1960 poll law.

According to National News Agency - Lebanon, MP Hbeiche disclosed that intensive consultations are currently taking place between the "Lebanese Forces" and Jumblatt, on one hand, and "Future Movement" and all components of March 14 forces and Jumblatt, on the other hand, to reach an agreement over small-district poll law. Hbeciche stated that the Bloc considers an electoral law based on small-districts as the paramount law that secures best representation for all segments of the Lebanese society.
