Raad Accuses Sison of Interfering in Formation of Majority Lists
Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad has accused U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison of playing a role in the formation of March 14 coalition”s electoral tickets.
"The majority team has trouble in forming its lists. It cannot form them unless U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison interferes in the process of choosing" candidates, Raad told a gathering in Nabatiyeh.
"This is what is happening in Kesrouan, Beirut 1, Zahle, Jbeil and what happened in Metn," he said.
Raad urged his foes to reduce tension "because the results of elections and anticipation of defeat do not deserve to take the country to abyss."
He reiterated that the opposition does not want to obliterate the other side when it wins the June 7 parliamentary elections.
Addressing those adopting the slogan of "Lebanon First," Raad said: "Such a slogan can be interpreted only through full readiness to face Israel."
