Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt met on Wednesday with a delegation from the March 14 alliance’s Future bloc to address the drafting of a new electoral law.
According to the National News Agency (NNA), the Future delegation included MPs Ahmad Fatfat, Hadi Hobeich, Ziad al-Qadiri as well as party advisors.
“PSP MP Akram Chehayeb and Secretary General Zafer Nasser also took part in the meeting,” the NNA said, adding that the men also discusses latest developments.
Lebanese parties are 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.
Jumblatt split from the western-backed March 14 coalition on 2009, after which he reconciled with Hezbollah and nominated Najib Mikati for premiership instead of Future Movement leader Saad Hariri.
