Megaphone: Lebanese MP Says Powerful Parties Coerced Him to Delay Elections for Their Own Interests

February 3, 2026

Lebanon’s 2026 parliamentary elections are officially scheduled for May 10, but controversy has erupted after Adib Abdel Massih publicly pushed a draft bill to postpone the vote for a year, saying current security, legal and logistical issues make holding them on time unrealistic.

Major political figures including President Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri have insisted they want the elections to go ahead as scheduled, illustrating deep divisions over whether this is a genuine practical concern or a bid for political advantage.

Democracy delayed or democracy denied?
