Qassem Says Hizbullah Victorious in Baalbek and Britel Municipal Elections
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem announced on Monday the triumph of two lists backed by his party in the municipal elections in the eastern Bekaa town of Baalbek and the border town of Britel.
“The Development and Loyalty list has completely won the municipal elections in Baalbek and Britel, not to mention some minimal breaches in six municipalities” said Qassem in a press conference.
“Bekaa has succeeded in breaking the obstruction that has plagued the state and was able to successfully complete the electoral process,” he added.
“It is worthy mentioning that the success in the elections was not accompanied by gunfire,” he pointed out.
Two listings competed in Baalbek for the municipal elections, one of them formed by Hizbullah and the Amal movement dubbed as Development and Loyalty list.
The second was named Baalbek Madinati and was headed by Ghaleb Yaghi and backed by families and al-Mustaqbal movement.
