Hezbollah calls for political Cabinet, electoral agreement
[Beirut Daily Star: Leb] Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad called for the formation of a political Cabinet Sunday while another party official urged an understating among Leb rivals over the formation of a new government and a new electoral law.

"Amid the regional crises, this country is in need of a political Cabinet per excellence," said Raad, the head Loyalty to the Resistance

parliamentary bloc.

Raad said he rejected forming a Cabinet of business people and non-political figures.

"The country does not need a Cabinet that includes people who may be courteous in their work. The representation should be a political one that leads to a balance that can ensure stability in the country," he said.

The Hezbollah official argued that having a "technocrat" Cabinet would result in the monopoly of political decisions for the prime minister.

"If the prime minister is a politically oriented figure, he cannot prevent ministers from being political," Raad said.

"The prime minister cannot impose his political choices to all the Lebanese people. He should work wisely within a balanced framework to what best preserves the country's stability," he added.

For his part, Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, a high-ranking Hezbollah official, called for an agreement among the rival political parties over the government formation and a new voting system Sunday.

"Leb is based on understanding whether in the [Cabinet] formation or the electoral law," Qaouk said.

He added that the unanimity that Leb witnessed during the nomination of Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam should be reflected on other major developments in the country.
