The cabinet is expected to witness heated debates this week as it is set to hold intensified meetings with several articles on its agenda.
Monday’s session will tackle the new electoral law draft, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported.
According to the daily, Interior Minister Marwan Charbel submitted new modifications to his previous proposal as suggested by ministers, as he will also clarify during the meeting some points demanded by other ministers.
The previous draft law proposal suggested adopting 10 to 14 middle-sized constituencies. It also contains proposals to divide Beirut into two electoral districts, as opposed to the current three-way division of the capital.
