The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Mohammad Raad said the upcoming parliamentary elections were an opportunity for Hizbullah to reach a position on political decision-making.

During a political meeting organized by Hizbullah in the southern village of Ibba, Raad said current attempts intended to prevent the opposition of obtaining a majority in parliament were being carried out using all means, including sectarian incitement, the spending of political money, the formation of coalitions to confront the opposition's electoral lists and marketing many names just to say they were opposed.

Raad said the opposition was optimistic about a victory in the coming elections and denied all reports about misunderstandings between the opposition's factions.
