Prominent Politician and ex-Minister Fouad Butros Dies at 95
Former minister and prominent politician Fouad Butros passed away on Sunday at the age of 95, state-run National News Agency reported.
Butros served as a minister under late presidents Fouad Chehab, Charles Helou and Elias Sarkis. He was most notably known for his role as foreign minister during Sarkis' tenure.
The ex-minister's most recent political activity was his suggestion of a hybrid electoral law that mixes the proportional representation and winner-takes-all systems.
The famous draft law has become colloquially known as the Fouad Butros Law.
Butros had published his autobiography in 2009 in a book released by Dar An-Nahar.
