The 2022 Lebanese parliamentary elections have finally come to an end after a dramatic period of over 2 years where Lebanon witnessed one of the largest revolutions in over a decade and a half, the Beirut Blast, a mismanaged pandemic, a spiraling economic crisis, hyperinflation of the Lebanese Lira, and an ongoing political crisis.
128 candidates have been finalized. The ruling parties raced to maintain their seats in the parliament and against the newer movements, which materialized into a full-on opposition.
Here are the candidates who made it, along with the number of votes they got.
Beirut Governate
In Beirut I, the main player was Li Watani, which won 2 seats. The main fight in this district was in gaining the threshold between the Kataeb, Lebanese Forces, and Free Patriotic Movement parties.
