Polling stations outside Dahiyeh could achieve democracy and freedom for residents
Kataeb party leader Amin Gemayel stressed on Friday his support for the March 14 alliance and its candidates in the Baabda district.
Following a meeting with the March 14 candidates for the district, Gemayel said that the list embodied the aspirations of Baabda residents.
He added that the Dahiyeh district had its own “individuality,” especially since it was Hezbollah’s stronghold, and said that the residents’ concerns should be taken into consideration, a reference to the Christians who are to cast their votes in the Dahiyeh district. Gemayel said that there was “not a suitable atmosphere for them to vote freely in that region.”
He therefore asked to transfer some polling stations of the Dahiyeh district “out of its geographical boundaries, so that all voters could cast their votes freely,” something which he said would be an “essential condition to attain democracy and freedom during the elections.”
