[PRESSTV] The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has lauded ensuring an atmosphere of calm and security for the country’s general elections as a national achievement, describing the results as a major victory for the resistance group. Addressing his supporters via a televised speech broadcast live from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut on Monday evening, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ![]() hailed the vote results as "a great moral and political victory for Hezbollah, which protects the country." He expressed his gratitude to all those who helped holding the national polls successfully, stressing that the "proportionality vote law offered all political factions the opportunity to represent themselves in the elections, mitigated the risks of exclusion from Leb’s political structure, and assured all sides that they will have a role in the administration." Nasrallah then praised the secure and stable ambiance during the May 6 elections, emphasizing that Hezbollah needs a strong representation in the parliament in order to fight corruption, honor its promises and build Leb. "The United States and some Persian Gulf states resorted to smear campaign in a bid to poison public opinion towards Hezbollah. Their efforts, however, ended in failure," he pointed out. The Hezbollah chief further noted that the resistance movement has obtained its goals in the national elections, saying that strong relations among the Lebanese nation, armed forces and his fellow fighters can protect the Arab country against any potential threat. "No one in the world can target Hezbollah as it has firm support among various strata of the Lebanese society. Towns and cities in southern Leb have served as the resistance front in the face of threats being poised by the Israeli regime and terrorist groups. Enemies’ plots to undermine Hezbollah popularity in those regions have yielded nothing," Nasrallah underlined. |
