Aoun to Launch Election Platform Thursday
Gen. Michel Aoun will launch his Free Patriotic Movement election platform on Thursday.
Pan-Arab daily Al Hayat said Aoun is expected to launch a verbal attack against his foes in the majority March 14 coalition.
It said circles concerned with the Kesrouan district election were geared up for Aoun”s announcement of his Kesrouan list, particularly in view of the delay in the declaration.
Aoun was scheduled to announce the Change and Reform Kesrouan electoral ticket on Wednesday.
Media reports on Thursday said the delay in the announcement was likely due to "interventions" made in an effort to make Aoun retract his decision to exclude former MP Fares Bouiz from his list.
Meanwhile, no progress has been made regarding the opposition”s Jezzine and Baabda tickets, according to Al Hayat.
