Press information revealed that MP Hikmat Deeb affiliated with the Free Patriotic Movement submitted his resignation from the movement due to internal problems related to the parliamentary elections.
Other sources said that the reason behind his resignation was the attempts to overthrow him, as the FPM is searching for financiers instead of the activists. This is in addition to the disagreement over the preferential vote hierarchy within the list that includes “FPM”, “Hezbollah” and the “Amal” movement in Baabda.
