Murr Criticizes Lahoud, Says He Cannot Make Up Election Ticket
Source: Al-Manar TV, 18-3-2009
Eighty days ahead of the forthcoming parliamentary elections, the Metn district, located in Mount Lebanon, seems to head towards one of the fiercest battles all over Lebanon...
A few days after State Minister Nassib Lahoud expressed resentlment at excluding him from electoral preparations undertaken by MP Michel Murr and his Phalange Party allies, the latter didn't hesitate to criticize him, saying frankly that the minister cannot make up a ticket in the 2009 election and reminding him that he has lost the 2005 elections.
In the Metn region, "there is a higher authority, higher than Lahoud," Murr said in an interview with pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat. "Not anybody who joins an electoral ticket takes part in making it," Murr said in reference to Lahoud.
"Since when did Lahoud join winning tickets?" Murr asked, sarcastically. He recalled that Lahoud lost the 2005 elections, while he won the previous vote when he ran as a candidate in a single-seat constituency.
Murr said Lahoud's views are not in harmony with the ruling March 14 coalition nor with the head of the Future Movement Saad Hariri "who knows Murr's value" according to Murr. He believed Lahoud "made a problem out of nothing."
Yet, Murr denied there was an "atmosphere of unfriendliness" between Lahoud and himself.
