Loyalty to the Resistance bloc leader MP Mohammad Raad said on Saturday that a new electoral law that takes into account “all Lebanese parties’ considerations” should be drafted ahead of the 2013 parliamentary elections.
“Diversity in Lebanon [require us] to draft a law that takes into account everyone’s concerns,” Raad told Al-Manar television.
He added that a law based on a proportional representation system is “an acceptable proposal.”
However, the Hezbollah MP said that “it is still early to discuss a formula for [the new] electoral law today.”
Lebanese parties are presently debating the electoral law for the upcoming 2013 parliamentary elections.
After the parliament agreed on drafting a law based on proportional representation, some parties rejected the proposed law and called for adopting the 2009 electoral law, which is based on simple majority representation.
