BEIRUT— A list including MP Wael Abu Faour was announced on Monday in the Bekaa II electoral district, for the upcoming May 15 legislative elections. The list includes six candidates.

Here’s what we know:

    • Under the name "The Independent National Decision,” this list includes, in addition to Abu Faour running for the Druze seat, Ali Bou Yassine and Mohammad Qaraaoui for the Sunni seat, Jihad Zarzour for the Maronite seat, Abbas Aidi for the Shiite seat, and Ghassan Skaff representing Greek-Orthodox seat.

    • Last Saturday, Abu Faour said: “There is a clear plan to create a ‘moumanaa’ parliamentary group, a follower of the former March 8 coalition [which includes the Amal movement, Hezbollah, the Free Patriotic Movement, the Tachnag party and the Syrian National Social Party] in a region where Walid Joumblatt has a majority.” The ‘moumanaa’ was primarily used by the Syrian regime during Hafez al-Assad’s rule to keep the country in a state of war in the name of the fight against Israel.
