Karami quits election race
 Lebanon's former Prime Minister and Tripoli MP Omar Karami announced late last night that he was stepping out of this month's election race. The abrupt announcement, was made during a television interview. He said: "The elections aren't elections, they are simply appointments and I want no part of them." Amid the confusion of the formation of lists in North Lebanon, Karami's move puts his political allies in a difficult position, particulary since Lebanon's opposition, most notably the Al-Mustaqbal bloc (Future Movement), is already active in the region.Posted by: Fred 2005-05-21 |
