Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday revealed his party’s tactics for the upcoming parliamentary elections and the names of Hizbullah’s candidates, the majority of whom are current MPs.

Noting that we are no longer hearing accusations that Hizbullah and its allies want to postpone the elections, Nasrallah said he can confirm that “the country is heading to elections on the scheduled date in May.”
