Lebanese elections in one word: خرق
More than a dozen independent candidates on Sunday won the right to sit in the country’s parliament following Lebanon's parliamentary election.
Meanwhile, mainstay political parties like Hezbollah and its allies lost majority positions.
Former Sunni Leader and ex-prime minister Saad Hariri’s political party boycotted the election, reducing the party’s representation.
And important and renowned political figures lost their seats.
These are among the biggest headlines to emerge from Lebanon’s parliamentary election on Sunday.
