Parliamentarian and political work is a profession that is done through experience and not only through courses and universities; it is a sincere, cumulative profession
"Sometimes, some relatives of Hezbollah Shura council members are excluded despite their qualifications. Additionally, we do not nominate those who ask to become parliamentarians," he clarified.
"Parliamentarian and political work is a profession that is done through experience and not only through courses and universities;" it is a sincere profession based on an accumulation of experience, he asserted, noting that Hezbollah does not make empty promises, "And we must adhere to sincerity with people, so we do not make promises that we cannot fulfill."
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah also unveiled Hezbollah's electoral list, which includes MP Mohammad Raad, MP Hassan Fadlallah, and MP Ali Fayyad in the south.
The list also includes MP Hassan Ezzeddine, MP Hussein Jeshi, MP Amin Sherri, and Rami Abu Hamdan in Tyre, Beirut, and Zahleh, respectively.
