Geagea urges for 'immediate return' of LF delegates expelled from Baalbek-Hermel towns
The delegates of the Lebanese Forces-backed list have been expelled Sunday from the towns of Riha and Knaissein in the Baalbek-Hermel region, LF chief Samir Geagead said in a tweet.
The tweet was addressed to Prime Minister Najib Miqati and Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi.
Geagea urged them to "immediately" return the LF delegates to the polling stations of Riha and Knaissei.
He also asked Miqati and Mawlawi to arrest those who have assaulted the delegates.
Earlier this week, the LF had filed complaints against Hizbullah, accusing the rival party of practicing “psychological and sectarian incitement and hostile mobilization” in the Baalbek-Hermel electoral district.
The region had witnessed several elections-related attacks and shootings in recent weeks that were targeted against LF-allied candidates. Many candidates had also announced their withdrawal from the LF-backed list.
