REPORT: Interior minister postpones Jdita municipal elections

Interior Minister Nouhad Mashnouq issued Friday a statement whereby he announced that the municipal and mokhtar elections in Jdita will be postponed until further notice.

 

Earlier this month, Machnouq also announced a decision to postpone the municipal elections in Zahle’s Jdita and West Bekaa’s Hosh al-Harimeh regions.

 

Consequently, the residents of the town of Jdita staged a protest denouncing the decision of the Interior Ministry.

 

The decision came following the ongoing sectarian tensions in the said town, while the minister cited security reasons for adjourning the polls in Hosh al-Harimeh region.
