Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) chief Gebran Bassil will not run again in the next parliamentary elections, in line with new regulations he has introduced as part of a “corrective move” within the party, according to FPM circles.
The move is aimed at ensuring a smooth transition from the cult of the founder, Gebran’s father-in-law and former President Michel Aoun, to the institution.
Bassil has set a series of principles and rules which party members are under the obligation to adhere to and respect, including to run for parliamentary elections a single time only. Accordingly, Bassil is not expected to compete for a parliament seat in the next polls.
FPM circles reveal that Bassil has already began screening all constituencies in search for new parliamentary candidates to represent the party in the next elections.
