The head of the “Lebanese Forces” list in the Rashaya region and the western Bekaa, Khaled Al-Askar, announced, at dawn today, in a statement, his reluctance to continue in the 2022 legislative elections.

He said: “I confirm that our reluctance to continue in the elections… was not under the guidance or pressure of anyone, but rather a decision I took in consultation with our family and friends, and I pledge to my family and everyone who was with us that we will continue to work to serve them and seek to obtain  their rights.”
