Speaking from the Palace of Justice in Tripoli, Hajjar stated: "I am responsible for the electoral process and am closely monitoring the counting of votes, particularly for municipal councils, as the tallying for the mukhtars has already been completed."
He explained that the Higher Registration Committees finalized the results for mukhtars, while the municipal count is still underway.
"The process has taken time, which is a positive sign, as it reflects the committees' commitment to careful and precise counting," he said.
Al-Hajjar emphasized that the results are reliable, as issued by the official committees, and that the vote count follows a three-phase process, underscoring in his words, the integrity and transparency of the elections.

UNIFIL spokesperson says patrol blocked in Srifa was coordinated with Lebanese army
UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said Saturday that a group of men in civilian clothes stopped a peacekeeping patrol in the town of Srifa earlier in the day despite the fact that the patrol had been coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces. 'The peacekeepers were able to resume their scheduled activity after the intervention of the Lebanese army,' Tenenti said. He added that United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 grants UNIFIL the authority to move freely and carry out patrols—with or without the presence of the Lebanese army. 'This is part of our mandate,' he said. 'While we coordinate closely with the Lebanese army, the freedom of movement of our peacekeepers is essential for fulfilling our mission.'
