Taha Naji declared Friday that he will not run for Tripoli’s by-elections, stating that “he will not grant the other parties the recognition for their decisions, not out of fear of their gathering but as a stand of a free person toppled by influential people.”
For his part, MP Faisal Karami announced the boycott of the by-elections in Tripoli, adding that they will not recognize the electoral results. He also called on their supporters to boycott the vote as well.
