Mayor of Tripoli: objections to Hariri's dish – Alankabout Spider – Lebanon News – Australia News

The third session for the election of a new mayor of Tripoli has not been fixed because the quorum has not been reached after the efforts made since the last meeting held on Friday 19 July, bringing the views of the two main blocks of the municipality to secure. Quorum, and therefore the election of a president.

President Najib Miqati was one of those who made these efforts: he received several times the members of the city council that day, but that did not move the stagnant water. Each team remained steadfast, although Miqati informed members, "I have no problem with any of the members, and I consider everyone represents me, and I do not want to get into a battle with any of them. left."

However, relatives of Miqati told Al-Akhbar that "the 23 members of the municipality who met with him badured of their desire to elect a new president and that they refused to find a solution to the city council and place it under the guard of the northern governor, Ramzi Nahra ".

"The second term will end with the maturity of the upcoming parliamentary elections, and the burden of the municipality is heavy and the chances of failure are more likely than the chances of success, make us not to give up our position close to the presidency of the municipality, The president is also our opponent. "

According to these sources, Miqati told a member of the municipality, Azzam Aweida, one of the closest candidates to him, succeeding former mayor Ahmad Qamaruddin, who fell at the July 16 meeting, which "does not He will not support his candidacy The quorum at this session and he prefers not to get lost, as was the case during the second session of July 19, which he did not believe in an injury.And this resentment aroused Aweida, who threatened to resign from the municipality, but efforts to dampen the atmosphere between him and Miqati contributed to the withdrawal of his post. "

However, these reasons are not the only reasons for the decline of Miqati, as the three meetings held for the election of a mayor have shown that the block attributed to Miqati and Saad Hariri did not have any. a majority to obtain a quorum and elect a new president. Among the 23. The recipients of the first and third meetings held yesterday were attended only by members of the group of eleven opponents to the former mayor Ahmad Qamaruddin, who is not politically entrusted to Miqati and Hariri and could not, at both sessions, ensure the election of his candidate Riyad Yum from the municipality.

Ahmed al-Hariri proposes to entrust the presidency to the older members, namely Qamaruddin!

If the fate of these three meetings resembles a lack of quorum, what is remarkable is that Nahra did not specify the date of the next meeting and raised questions about the void that will subsist in the mayor's office and its impact on the work of the municipal council in a city in difficulty.

One of these questions is whether the governor's decision is made at the request of the majority of the members of the municipality and that they need time to discuss and dialogue with each other and reach a common formula for the solution. or to reach a settlement of what the political forces are working on. The Ministry of the Interior The oldest member of the municipal administration temporarily, until the election of a new president, and this member of the irony is the former mayor Ahmed Qamaruddin, who fell during the confidence session, bringing the crisis to its place. The Secretary General of the Future Movement, Ahmed Hariri, would advocate this possibility, despite the political, legal and municipal objections, and the exhaustion of the municipality and the prelude to placing it in the governor's custody until new municipal elections do not appear on the horizon.
