A previous version of this article said that Asaad Zogheib was heading a candidate list for the Zahle elections separate from that of the Free Patriotic Movement, the Lebanese Forces and the Kataeb party. Zogheib is in fact the head of the list forged between those three parties. The Daily Star apologizes for this error.

Summary

Musa Fattoush, the brother of Zahle district MP Nicolas Fattoush, announced his candidate list Monday for the municipal elections in the city to be held next Sunday.

Fattoush's speech concentrated on the importance of improving the road network in Zahle and other infrastructure, as well as creating more green spaces and improving tourism in the city.

Zahle's private electricity company, Electricite Du Zahle, was successful last year in finalizing a plan which now provides the city and some of its environs with 24 hours of power each day, amid a chronic electricity crisis in the rest of the country.

Zahle is the administrative capital and largest city of the Bekaa governorate.
