A Hezbollah delegation held talks on Wednesday with Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on the latest developments in Lebanon, most notably the parliamentary electoral law.

“We hope that the Orthodox Gathering draft law will be the first article of the agenda of the next parliament session,” Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's political aide Hussein Khalil said after the meeting.

“The date and agenda of the session is up to the speaker, who is holding consultations with various political powers,” he added.

Asked by reporters about the talks with Aoun, Khalil replied: “We cannot reveal the details of all that was discussed, but we set red lines that should not be crossed.”

The meeting, which was also attended by caretaker ministers Ali Hasan Khalil and Jibran Bassil, addressed the parliamentary elections, resignation of the government, and the consultations to form a new one, he elaborated.

The Orthodox Gathering electoral law has been backed by the FPM, Phalange Party, Lebanese Forces, and Marada Movement, who all said it offers Christians in Lebanon best representation.

Within the same context, MPs of Hezbollah, Amal Movement and Free Patriotic Movement held a meeting at the Parliament Wednesday in Beirut's Nijmeh Square.

The lawmakers called on Speaker Nabih Berri to hold a parliamentary session for the approval of the so-called Orthodox Gathering draft-law.

The March 8 parliamentary blocs insist on holding the elections on time based on a law other than the 1960 law,” Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kanaan told reporters after the meeting.

“We call on Berri (Lebanese Speaker) to hold a parliamentary session for the adoption of Orthodox proposal... as an attempt to cancel the 1960 law,” the lawmaker said.
