Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi denied on Sunday that he supports the adoption of proportional representation for the 2013 parliamentary elections. He said: “We support an electoral law that best represents the Lebanese people.” He made his remarks from the airport ahead of travelling on a one-month tour of Mexico, the United States, and Canada. “I don’t even know what proportionality entails. Officials should deal with the technical aspects of the law,” he explained. [Naharnet]
