Berri wants Christian unity on electoral law

The Daily Star 21/9/2012 BEIRUT: If Christian parties adopt the Orthodox Gathering’s electoral proposal Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri will most likely accept it, Tyre MP Ali Khreis said Thursday. In an interview with the Voice of Lebanon radio station, Khreis, a member of Berri’s parliamentary bloc, said that the speaker was very much concerned that a new election law should gain Christian unanimity. “If the Christians agreed to the Orthodox [Gathering’s] proposal, I think he [Berri] will go with it without hesitation,” Khreis added.
