Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Given the current numbers, the representation of women, says Bouasker, rests at 15%.

The final list of candidates, however, will be revealed on November 2 following the legal vetting process.

Earlier in September, Tunisian President Kais Saied issued a new electoral law stipulating that people vote for individuals rather than lists for parties as in previous elections, according to media reports.

Furthermore, the amended law reduced parliamentary seats to 161, after they were 217, noting that there will be 10 seats representing Tunisian expatriates.

It is noteworthy that the Tunisian National Salvation Front announced, a few days ago, its final decision to boycott the upcoming elections. The Head of the Front, Ahmed Najib Al-Shabi, attributed the reasons for this boycott to what he considered to be Kais Saied once again drafting the electoral law by himself, as he did in the constitution, and not disclosing its content, only about 10 days before the final date of its issuance.
