Written by Najib

 

President Michel Suleiman discussed with Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour on Saturday preparations underway at Lebanese missions abroad to allow expats to cast their ballots next year. Parliament hasn't yet approved an electoral law after the cabinet referred to it a bill that divides Lebanon into 13 electoral districts based on proportional representation. Several March 14 opposition MPs have accused the Foreign Ministry of negligence and considered that it failed to prepare the proper measures to ensure the participation of expats in the 2013 parliamentary elections.
