BEIRUT: The Lebanese Association for
Democratic Elections released a booklet on internal elections within Lebanese
parties from across the political spectrum Thursday.
The report’s author, Shawkat Ashtai,
said his research sheds light on types of elections within parties’
representative bodies, along with their mandate and bylaws for running party
elections.
The booklet entitled “Elections in
the Lebanese Political Parties” was launched in the presence of representatives
of political parties and civil society organizations.
Ashtai said the report also examines
the representation of women, youth, and people with special needs in parties’
executive bodies.
He recommended that the proportional
representation system should be adopted when carrying out internal party
elections.
He added that party bylaws should clearly
mention that the president of a party should not hold office for more than two
consecutive terms.
