On his part, the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, Nabih Berri thanked the Lebanese voters who participated in the recent elections and stated that he was thankful for their "immeasurable sincerity".

Addressing the voters, Berri called for turning the election results into a "Lebanese day in which the Lebanese meet to renounce hate speech."

Berri stressed that the results of the elections will be an opportunity "to put aside the inflammatory rhetoric and let all the hotheads calm down."

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri affirmed that Lebanon's wealth is a sovereign entitlement that is not subject to compromise or bargain, reiterating that Lebanon possesses all the elements of strength to preserve its wealth.

2022 Lebanese Parliamentary Elections

In Lebanon, the local currency has lost about 90% of its value, aggravating the socio-economic situation of the majority of the Lebanese population and sending the prices of the most basic necessities and commodities through the roof. After more than two long years of an unprecedented economic crisis, Lebanon is holding its parliamentary elections on May 15. Will the results bring about change or provide solutions to the multiple crises in the country?
