BEIRUT, April 11 -- The Arab league (AL) informed the Lebanese government on Saturday that the AL will participate in surveillance over the upcoming general elections on June 7, local Elnashra website reported. AL assistant secretary general, Ambassador Abdulrahman Soloh, officially assigned by AL chief Amr Mousa, informed Lebanese interior minister Ziad Baroud that the AL would participate in and accompany the Lebanese general elections, in cooperation with international institutions, the report said. "After the Arab league sponsored the elections of a consensus president in Lebanon, it is seeking today to reinforce democracy and rebuilt the state of law and institutions through participating in the surveillance of the general elections," Ambassador Soloh was quoted as telling minister Baroud. Lebanese consensus President Michel Suleiman was elected last May after an Arab sponsored agreement was signed on May 21 in the Qatari capital Doha between Lebanese rival leaders. |
