Bassil had on Wednesday accused Khalil’s Amal Movement of "colluding" with the LF at the expense of the victims of the Tayyouneh incidents and the Beirut port blast.

"It has become clear that there is a side that does not want the organization of the parliamentary elections and is seeking the polls’ postponement," Khalil said.

"We stress that we insist on holding the elections within the constitutional timeframes because canceling the vote would lead to unknown consequences in the country," the politician warned.
