Lebanese Voting without the Presence of Foreign Forces
Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel described elections day as a "significant" event for Lebanon after he cast his ballot in Bekfaya”s public school.
"The elections are taking place in positive circumstances, following the withdrawal of all foreign forces. This is the first time that the people are able to express their opinion without the presence of a non-Lebanese army," Gemayel said.
He said the elections will "determine which Lebanon we want: Lebanon-Gaza, Lebanon-totalitarian parties or Lebanon-openness-role-message. Both Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir and President Michel Suleiman warned about this."
The former Lebanese president called on the public and partisans to "accept the results with an open spirit and to avoid clashes and confrontations …"
"There is a need for the Lebanese people to realize their responsibility. Tomorrow will be a new day in Lebanon”s life," he added.
