Sayyed Nasrallah, Berri, Aoun Meet over Jizzine District

Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Speaker Nabih Berri and MP General Michel Aoun held a meeting Friday night to discuss the latest developments in Lebanon at all levels, particularly the upcoming election in June.

According to a Hizbullah's Media Relations statement, the meeting was also attended by MP Hasan Khalil, Berri's political aid, Telecommunications Minister Jibran Bassil and Sayyed Nasrallah's political aid Hussein Khalil.

MP Aoun and Speaker Berri, two key constituents of the Lebanese National Opposition, have two competing lists of candidates in the district of Jizzine. Both parties stressed the competition will be democratic and will not affect their alliance across Lebanon.

During the meeting, Berri and Aoun underlined the following:

"1- With regards to the particularity of the Jizzine district, the election will take place in a civilized and friendly manner between the two parties, with two competing and closed tickets.

2- Each group confirms that this election (in Jizzine) will not affect the inclusive alliance with the other group in other districts and therefore pledge to spare no effort with allies to expand participation and voting outright for the opposition.

3- Both parties take upon themselves projecting their alliance on the political and media levels through every possible means that enhances the unified position of the opposition.

4- Both parties vow that the outcome of the Jizzine election shall not affect the unified position of the two groups in particular and the opposition in general, in a way that guarantees understanding later on every future event including the government and the parliament."
