Until now, @MOIM_Lebanon has only published election results by district. This goes against best practices as publishing granular data allows for scrutiny 1/3

In 2018, the results were published at the level of polling stations allowing @LADELEB to discover that the results of several expat ballot boxes were zeroed out. 2/3

Publishing 2022 results as a workable file (.csv) in a timely manner would only increase the public confidence in the process. 3/3

In Beirut's first district (Achrafieh - Rmeil - Medawar - Saifi), Ghassan Hasbani, Nicolas Sehnaoui, Nadim Gemayel, Jean Taluzian, Paula Yacoubian, Agob Terzian, Jihad Pakradouni, and Cynthia Zarazir.
In the first district of the South (Sidon - Jezzine), the voter turnout was 46.6%, and each of: Abd al-Rahman al-Bizri and Osama Saad won in Sidon. And in Jezzine: Saeed Al-Asmar, Charbel Massad, Ghada Ayoub.
Expatriate votes are still being counted to determine the final results of the parliamentary elections, in which opposition and civil society lists accomplished many breakthroughs.

Polling stations unequipped with elevators or wooden ramps, ballot boxes on high tables, voting booths on raised platforms, heads of polling stations pressuring the disabled and the elderly to hurry up while casting their vote,

forcing the disabled to vote out in the open and not behind the booth or have their vote cast by someone else… These are just some of the violations documented by the Lebanese Physically Handicapped Union across all districts in Lebanon so far.

Not only do these breaches humiliate and potentially endanger the elderly and the disabled, they also violate Article 96 of the Electoral Law which requires the Interior Ministry to facilitate voting for individuals with special needs.

My thoughts are with the brave people of Lebanon voting in the first election since #BeirutExplosion.
They deserve change.
They deserve not be ruled by an Iran-backed militia
They deserve a better future.

And yes, #Hezbollah is fighting for survival.
For the first time, I saw his followers on Twitter asking people to turn up and vote.
God forbid, are you worried guys?

Sadly, but not surprising, reports of chaos and corruption dominating #LebaneseElections
Several municipalities and governorates across Lebanon imposed curfews for Syrian refugees from the evening of Saturday May 14 until the morning of Monday May 16, most notably in Nabatieh,

and Ghazze in the Bekaa also issued circulars preventing Syrians’ circulation “based on the Lebanese Army’s statement,” although the army did not issue any curfew decision. The Bissariye municipality issued a similar circular “to preserve security and public safety.”

🇱🇧 Today I release my #Lebanon report. It finds that the economic crisis - which has plunged millions into poverty - is the responsibility of the country's elite & was entirely avoidable.

My report shows how failed gov policies & massive conflicts of interest resulted in:
➡️Appalling levels of wealth concentrated at the top
➡️An unaccountable banking sector
➡️A chronic neglect of public services
➡️Inadequate social protection

Public money was squandered over decades of mismanagement and misplaced investments by the Government and Banque du Liban.
👉The result: collapse of the currency and Lebanese banking sector, wiping out people's savings and impoverishing millions
