Ahmed Hariri Denies Reports of Electoral Alliance with Hizbullah

Reports of a five-party electoral alliance that comprises Hizbullah are baseless, Mustaqbal Movement secretary-general Ahmed Hariri stressed on Monday.

“Our dispute with Hizbullah is a major dispute that starts in Lebanon and involves Syria, Iraq and Yemen as well as Hizbullah's entire role within the Iranian scheme. This major dispute cannot be turned into an electoral alliance under any formula that may be proposed,” Hariri said in an interview with Future TV.

Recent media reports had said that Mustaqbal intends to be in an electoral alliance with the Free Patriotic Movement, the Progressive Socialist Party, Hizbullah and AMAL Movement in the upcoming parliamentary elections that will be held in May.
