Hizbullah Bloc Backs Megacenters, Urges Elections on Time
Hizbullah’s Loyalty to Resistance bloc on Thursday stressed the need to hold the May 15 parliamentary elections on time, while stressing that the voting megacenters plan is a “required and landmark step.”
In a statement issued after its weekly meeting, the bloc said it “categorically rejects any postponement of the parliamentary elections under any excuse.”
“The adoption of megacenters is a required and landmark step that should be taken in this electoral round, on the basis of holding the elections on time,” the bloc added.
The bloc also said that it “strongly opposes” the official Lebanese stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, noting that “the Lebanese Foreign Ministry statement and the vote against Russia at the U.N. General Assembly harm Lebanon and its interests and do not reflect the true stance of the Lebanese people.”
