Gemayel: Party That Wins Metn Poll Wins Parliamentary Majority
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel said the party that wins the Metn poll would win the whole election and get the parliamentary majority.
In an interview with the daily Al Akhbar published Thursday, Gemayel uncovered that an agreement for an equal share in Metn has so far been reached between him and MP Michel Murr, his ally in elections.
Gemayel said his Maronite share would go to his son, Sami who is in charge with negotiations with Murr, while the other to former Phalange Party chief Elie Karami, a Catholic.
He revealed that the other seats would be left for his allies in the March 14 coalition.
Gemayel warned that in the event of failure to reach agreement with the Armenian Tashnag Party, he would be forced to form a new coalition list, adding that this possibility is under consideration with Murr.
He pointed out that his allies in the constituencies are "the ones who need the Phalange Party more than we need them."
