The opponents are absent from a sub -meeting of the election and stones law, confirms: the elections are on time

Kabyar Murad wrote in “The Call of the Homeland”: In the past hours, the whisper is from postponing the electoral entitlement. However, the Minister of the Interior says, “We are committed to holding the parliamentary elections on May 2026, and we have begun for weeks of preparations in this framework, and on October 2 (today) the registration of Lebanese non -residents in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates begins with a commitment to the constitutional deadlines.”

This position will be repeated by the stones at the table of the sub -committee of the election law today. Note that the political absence of some parties to the committee will not lead to its non -convening. Especially since its work is not related to the availability of the quorum, but its productivity, of course, is related to political consensus or approvals. The last meetings witnessed the participation of deputies from several directions to listen and express an opinion. However, the absence of basic parties comes as a “political veto” who wants to record the situation, and seek to “break the rotation in a vicious circle” and pushing things towards “sitting together with politics to agree on a common ground, technically translated with the required amendments to the election law.”
After the legislative session two days ago, the Vice -President of the House of Representatives rushed to invite the sub -committee. He explains, “This meeting came against the background of the government’s assignment of the Minister of the Interior to inform us of what it reached. Is it reasonable to tell him we do not want to listen to you?” “Today we will complete the research, listen to the Minister of Interior, and determine the next steps in light of the data he will explain,” Bou Saab continues.
According to the information, there were contacts in the past hours to persuade the protesters to separate the paths between the debate on the election law in the sub -committee, and what happened in the General Assembly. But communication did not reach the desired result. Consequently, the “Lebanese Forces”, the battalions and “moderation” will be absent from the committee.
Those who protesters against the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri say that the tightening of the political ropes that occurred aims to “sensitize the hot”, revealing that “contacts took place, but the time of the settlement and the softness has not yet come.”
It is a “yellow card”, then, and things have not reached the point of lifting the red card. Beyond today’s session, the next step for each of the conflicting parties is expected on the electoral law circuit.
