Report: LF, FPM Attending Legislative Session after Concession on Electoral Law
The Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement agreed to attend the legislative session following concessions that were made over the inclusion of the parliamentary electoral law on its agenda, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Thursday.
It said that an agreement was reached to form a committee to prepare an electoral law and approve it.
The committee has two months to reach its goal, added the daily.
Should it fail to do so, then no legislative sessions will be held. Even if they are scheduled, they will not attend it, in adherence to the announcement made by Mustaqbal Movement leader MP Saad Hariri, explained al-Joumhouria.
The former premier declared on Wednesday that the movement will attend Thursday's legislative session to vote on financial draft-laws, but that it will not attend any later session that does not tackle the electoral draft-law.
The LF-FPM settlement over the legislative session also includes the approval of the draft-law on renaturalizing emigrants of Lebanese origin after amendments were introduced to it on Wednesday.
Other articles on the agreement are linked to financial draft-laws.
The legislative session is set for November 12 and 13 amid the boycott of the Kataeb Party because it rejects carrying out any legislation in the absence of a president.
