| [PRESSTV] Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri says his party has lost a third of seats in the Sunday parliamentary elections, winning only 21 seats, down from the 33 it had been holding since the last time Leb elected a parliament in 2009. Hariri made the announcement in a televised statement on Monday, saying that despite gains in Sidon, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , Beirut and Western Bekaa Valley, the Future Movement had only won 21 out of 128 parliamentary seats. The election results, however, still make Hariri the frontrunner to form the next government as the Sunni leader with the biggest bloc in parliament. The Lebanese premier said he extended his hand to all political factions in order to fulfill the wishes of the Lebanese people who "voted for security and stability of Leb." "I extend my hand to every Lebanese to participate in shoring up securing political stability and to improve the lives of all the Lebanese," Hariri noted. The prime minister also said that the international community should look at the results of Leb's election in a "very positive way." |
