Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Tuesday said the Christians' main priority is the election of a president, and underlined that interest of the Christians lies in a new general election law based on the county-constituency. The only, basic and useful issue for the Christians at present is the election of a new president," Geagea told partisans at his residence in Meerab. Geagea attacked the Hizbullah-led opposition for demanding a new law for general elections similar to the law adopted in 1960 and applied until 1972. He explained that it is in the interest of the Christians to adopt a law for general elections based on the county-constituency principle, stressing "the smaller the constituency is, the better it would for Christian representation." Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun, who represents the opposition, called Monday for applying the 1960 law on general elections, scheduled for 2009. "Times have changed," Geagea said. "The 1960 law merged counties, which is not in the interest of Christians." "We want the smallest possible constituency," he concluded.
