MPs expelled from FPM may form new parliamentary bloc
MPs Alain Aoun and Simon Abi Ramia, who have been recently expelled from the Free Patriotic Movement, might soon form a new parliamentary bloc, ad-Diyar newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The two lawmakers may be joined by MP Ibrahim Kanaan, who was recently referred to the FPM’s so-called council of elders over alleged violations, the daily added.
Independent MPs might also become part of the planned bloc and a political charter is being discussed, ad-Diyar reported.
Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab had also been recently expelled from the FPM.
While the dissidents have been accused of violating the FPM’s policies and bylaws, they have accused FPM chief Jebran Bassil of seeking to monopolize decisions and eliminate opponents.
