Khazen, Bon Announce “Independent Kesrouan Decision” List
Former lawmakers Farid Haikal el-Khazen and Mansour el-Bon on Monday announced the formation of Kesrouan”s core election ticket under the title "The Independent Decision of Kesrouan."
"Our battle is one of politics and not offensiveness," Bon said during launch of the election campaing.
"We are open to alliances with the neighborhood”s (political) parties and we are seeking to preserve Kesrouan”s dignity," Bon said, adding that "we will work under the patronage of the Patriarchy and the (Lebanese) presidency."
He emphasized the Independent Decision of Kesrouan”s "openness to everybody – Christians and Muslims alike."
Khazen, however, said that the group is "independent at the national level."
"We are outside the political alignment that has brought destruction to the country," he stressed.
