Haddad calls for recount at Beirut protests
Hours ahead of the release of official election results Monday, hundreds of demonstrators descended on the Interior Ministry in Beirut to voice their opposition to the electoral loss of an independent candidate in unclear circumstances. Not just expressing support for LiBaladi candidate Joumana Salloum Haddad, protesters criticized Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk, who heads the ministry in charge of implementing and overseeing the elections and who was successful in his own race for a seat in Parliament.
