BEIRUT – Former Lebanese President and Kataeb Leader Amine Gemayel
stated on Thursday that the party that wins the Maten elections would
win the whole elections and get the parliementary majority.
Gemayel confirmed that his party would run in more than one Christian
district, making it the Christian party with the highest participation
rate in the March 14 alliance.
On the other hand Gemayel revealed that an agreement for an equal
share in Maten has so far been reached between him and MP Michel Murr.
Gemayel said that his son Sami would be running for the Maronite
seat while the other former Kataeb party president Eli Karami would
be running for the catholic seat.
Gemayel added that if failing to reach an understanding with the
Tashnaq party would lead to the formation of a closed coalition list,
noting that he discussed with Murr alternative Armenian names for
the Maten list.
