Lebanon’s elections are well known for their intricate political schemes and unorthodoxies.
In this election, and with the rise of revolutionary youths driven by the existential need for deep change in the political arena, many traditional parties are reorganizing their electoral skills for one more fateful blow against any tangible change shimmering under the debris.
Lebanon comprises 9 electoral districts, each with a varying number of seats for sectarian representation. Here’s the list of all the candidates and their electoral coalitions in the Bekaa III district (Baalbek, Hermel) for a more detailed look at the status quo:
