Jumblat Warns against 'Deadly' Isolation Mistake if March 14 Win
MP Walid Jumblat on Sunday firmly warned against a policy of "isolation against the others" in case of a March 14 victory and called for the "joint" implementation of the Taef Accord. In an interview with LBC, Jumblat said: "We voted and we still have faith in the project of the state and aspire for its success. But in case of a March 14 victory we must not isolate the others. Beware of the deadly mistake of isolation."

Jumblat described the use of veto power in government as "an invention that does not exist in the constitution."

"The last time we made a mistake by accepting veto power for the president. Let us abide by the joint implementation of the Taef's provisions," he said.
Jumblat said a government of national unity was a "necessity and was conditioned by a March 14 victory."
"The president cannot fulfill his role if he does not have the power to sack a minister by a unilateral decision. The Taef must not remain a means to cripple the government."

Jumblat said a government of national unity was a "necessity and was conditioned by a March 14 victory."

He said the Chouf did not witness "an electoral battle rather a vote for a political platform."

Jumblat cautioned against the breakout of tensions in Aley "regardless of the outcome of the elections."
