Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat slammed on Saturday the agreement issued by the Maronite leaders concerning the parliamentary electoral law.
“This law will lead to the isolation of people from each other,” Jumblat told al-Manar television station.
The Maronite leaders were unanimous on Friday in agreeing on the Orthodox meeting proposals, while stressing the need to hold dialogue with the rest of the Lebanese factions on the matter.
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi headed the meeting at Bkirki between Phalange Party chief Amin Gemayel, Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, the head of the Lebanese Forces Samir Geagea, and Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh.
The Orthodox meeting called for each sect to elect its own candidate based on proportional representation during parliamentary elections.

My understanding it is based on proportional representation with a caveat that each sect elects its own candidates.
