Law No. 8 issued on 3/11/2021 amending some articles of Law No. 44 dated 17/6/2017 regarding the election of members of the House of Representatives was issued in the annex No. 43 of the Lebanese Official Gazette.
The amendment of the law was not signed by the President of the Republic General Michel Aoun who had previously returned it to the House of Representatives, requesting that it be reconsidered due to the constitutional and legal violations in it that were included in detail in the letter that President Aoun sent to the House of Representatives two weeks earlier.
The law was considered legally effective and must be published based on Article 57 of the Constitution, after it was not issued by the President of the Republic due to the Parliament’s failure to take notes on the violations made by President Aoun that had asked at the time to reconsider them, according to what the Presidency of the Republic announced.
