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 are Maronites and other Christians on both sides, and in the past some Sunnis have sided with the Shias, though not so much anymore given that the main political cleavage is now being pro- or anti-Assad. It's really only the Shias who consolidate on just one side of the political divide.
