Elections are currently underway!

It looks like neither alliance will get a majority.

Looks like Hezbollah and the Amal alliance won this election now.

Looks like Hezbollah and the Amal alliance won this election now.

How's that possible? Aren't the shia only like 27% of the population or so? Doesn't the Maronite-Sunni alliance (Free Patriotic Movement-Future Movement) have a lot more potential votes?

There's a lot of anti-Hariri sentiment that is negatively impacting the coalition, it's still early so it can change.

It's being reported on Lebanese sites that Hezbollah-Amal have won all the seats in South Lebanon's 2nd and 3rd districts

For some reasons multiple sites display a different amount of seats, English websites and Arabic websites have differing results, I am using LBCI for results.
