Worried about abstention!

In the newspaper Al-Akhbar, Amal Khalil wrote: After the parliamentary elections of September 15 in Tire, to elect the successor of the outgoing MP Nawaf al-Moussawi, the allies and opponents of Hezbollah have seriously invested in the region where will take place elections, in the smallest constituency. The majority The chances of success are great, with the exception of the defeat of the candidate "Protect and Build". But those who are serious about their objection will not be satisfied with the elections held by acclamation.

"Develop your mind". Riad al-Assaad quickly answered the question when one of them proposed to run for the vacant seat in the district of Tire. The Zahrani district permanent candidate did not abandon his objection to the representative reality of the south, but he did not see the merit coming from outside the context of the battle signs.
