Constitutional Council rejects appeals against Khazen, Frem, Alameh

The Constitutional Council on Thursday dismissed two more electoral appeals filed over the results of the May 15 parliamentary elections.

The first appeal had been filed by the candidate Wassef al-Harakeh against MP Fadi Alameh over the Shiite seat in Baabda.

The second appeal had been filed by the candidate Simon Sfeir against MPs Neemat Frem and Farid al-Khazen over the Maronite seat in Jbeil-Keserwan.

This is the third batch of rulings that the Council issues and it is still looking into several appeals.

So far, all appeals have been rejected.
