With the rise of revolutionary youths, driven by the existential need for deep change in the political arena, many traditional parties are reorganizing their electoral skills to face what is materializing as a tough challenge to their long-standing ruling status in parliament.
Lebanon’s elections are well known for their intricate political schemes and unorthodoxies, and this time might not be different, other than the determination of the new free-voices rising from the misgovernance-created crises to bring radical changes.
Lebanon comprises 9 electoral districts, each with a varying number of seats for sectarian representation. Here’s the list of all candidates in the Mount Lebanon II district (Metn) for a more detailed look at the status quo:
