24.05.2025 โ‡ข Day Southern Lebanon Votes Under Military Protection
โŒจThe final phase of Lebanon's municipal elections proceeded in southern Lebanon and Nabatieh provinces, with the army providing security amid Israeli restraint. The elections, occurring just days after President Abbas's landmark declaration on Palestinian disarmament scheduled to begin mid-June, featured significant contests in Jezzine and Sidon while many Shiite-dominated areas saw candidates win unopposed. Former President Aoun voted for the first time in 40 years, claiming Israel had provided guarantees not to disrupt polling.

Voter turnout increased throughout the day, reaching 36.42% in the South and 31.41% in Nabatieh by evening. The Lebanese Army warned against celebratory gunfire as results began emerging, with early reports showing the Free Patriotic Movement-backed "Sawa for Jezzine" list winning all seats there, while Hezbollah's list in Kfar Tibnit was breached by two independent candidates.
