He called on opposition groups, including individuals, independents, small groups and parties, to the necessity of coordination in order to find the appropriate way to activate this opposition following it became the majority in Parliament.
In turn, the head of the Lebanese Democratic Party, Talal Arslan, held a meeting of the party’s leadership and cadres in Khaldeh to discuss the repercussions of the resounding defeat in the elections. The change “is not out of accountability or immorality,” but it is the start of a new stage, promising that following the conference “the party’s performance will differ.”
He said: “The results of the elections put us in the position of the opposition, and we will reconsider our accounts in dealing with everyone, with allies and adversaries… and we will not compromise.”
