Lebanese parliament session loses quorum after opposition walkout over expatriate voting

The parliament session collapsed Monday after MPs from the Kataeb Party, the Lebanese Forces, the Change and Reform bloc, the National Moderation bloc, and several independents withdrew in protest.

The lawmakers walked out objecting to the refusal to discuss the issue of voting rights for Lebanese expatriates. Their departure led to the loss of quorum, forcing the session to end without progress.
