2018 election

Ahead of the 2018 Lebanese general election 6 lists were registered.[6]

The battle was expected to be mainly between two lists: the "Reconciliation" (Progressive Socialist Party-Future Movement-Lebanese Forces) list and the "Mountain Pledge" (Lebanese Democratic Party-Free Patriotic Movement-Syrian Social Nationalist Party) list.[3] The remaining lists were the "Free Decision" (Kataeb Party and National Liberal Party) list, the "National Unity" list of Wiam Wahhab (former Minister, ex-LDP), the "Civic" list and the "Kulluna Watani" (We are all National) list.[3][7]

Towards the end of February the Democratic Renewal Movement candidate Antoine Haddad announced his withdrawal from the race.[8]
