Lebanon’s political power clans pass their assembly seats to the next generation
 [ARABNEWS] Nine years have passed since the last election in Leb, and voters could be forgiven for being excited to see some fresh young faces standing to win seats in a Parliament dominated by aging men.But in many cases the names, and what they stand for, are all too familiar. Nearly a quarter of the 128 seats are expected to be passed on from an older relative to another member of the family, as the country’s politics of clans and dynasties shows little sign of fading. Of these, 19 candidates are standing for seats currently held by a father or mother. Posted by: Fred 2018-03-12 |
