All Hezbollah candidates go to parliament

(PRESS TV) Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon. Lebanon's elections results show than the March 14 coalition has won the elections, but all Hezbollah candidates have also found their way into the parliament. The ruling pro-Western coalition is keeping its narrow margin with 71 seats in the parliament. Press TV correspondent from Lebanon reported that March 14 has won 69 seats in the 128-seat parliament and the Hezbollah-led bloc (March 8) has won 57 seats. Two seats are still undecided but the difference in the numbers show that even if the opposition wins these two seats, the ruling party will still have the majority by a margin of at 10 seats. Hezbollah managed to get all of its eleven candidates elected. Press TV correspondent also noted that a number of controversial issues surrounded the Lebanese elections. He said that there are reports that a big number of Sunni expatriates have been flown in to the country to go mainly to the Christian districts of Lebanon which were the main battle ground to vote for the March 14 coalition. There are also reports that Saudi Arabia has spent a big money to buy votes in Lebanon to increase the chances for March 14 to win the elections. Considering the dire economic condition in the parliament it seems that buying votes in the country is highly possible. The voter turnout in the election which was held on Sunday has been over 50 percent.
