By canceling the elections, the Hezbollah-controlled government would be able to stay in power until the Syrian conflict dies down, said Lebanese MP Ammar Houri, who was speaking on the Voice of Leb radio station on Sunday.
Houri's Future movement is a Sunni-dominated party led by Sa'ad Hariri and is part of the March 14 alliance, which is opposed to the Shi'ite-dominated March 8 alliance led by Hezbollah.
The report comes as Leb continues to be flooded by Syrian refugees, a circumstance that is further destabilizing the situation.
The number of refugees now tops 336,000 according to the Lebanese Daily Star.
