Election employees vote was between 85%-99%. Unification of March 14 forces to face Aoun in Jbeil gave a powerful push to the opposition in all of Lebanon.
Three days ahead of the "awaited day," the electoral battle in Lebanon started officially…In a "rehearsal" for Sunday's parliamentary election, the country witnessed on Thursday the first part of the weekend vote when around 11,000 staff and poll workers began heading to ballot stations to accomplish their "national duty" as stated by the electoral law.

These elections recorded the highest proportion in the intensity of voting that approached nearly 90%, which could be regarded as an indication of the popular enthusiasm for participation in the general election on Sunday.

On the other hand, Over 19,000 Lebanese arrived in Beirut over the past two days to participate in Sunday's polls, the national news agency reported on Thursday. The airport traffic was expected to increase during the few remaining days until the elections. The NNA said that some of the arrivals expressed hope that the elections would be held in a climate of "transparency, democracy, and security." They added that their right to vote and national duty encouraged them to come to Lebanon to take part in the elections.

In this context, the German "Stern" magazine published an article by the journalist "Stephen Gasl" telling the story and the details of the process of vote buying by the future movement in number of cities in Germany in order to bring voters to Lebanon. It said that the Future "pays the sum of one thousand and five hundred dollars for each voter "in addition to the ticket round-trip travel and a complete reservation in Beirut hotels ... Etc.

The article also uncovered the process of payment that begins by giving voters the amount of five hundred Euros in advance, to complete the amount (1500 Euros) after the vote in Beirut. This indicate how "critical" these election are for the majority of the electoral process, and this is only a  model of what they are doing  abroad in the rest of the countries, in Europe, Africa, America, and the Arabic countries as well.

While in Lebanon things are not very different, on the contrary there is more evidence that the Loyalty group gives Sunday's elections a fateful image, whether through pricing the election campaigns and the escalation of the electoral speech in some election districts that have specific symbolism, like Sidon and Tripoli and Akkar, and the western Bekaa and Zahle, and others.
Furthermore, they also used some illegal means like scaring some voters or pouring tons of electoral money, or by inviting the ambassadors of countries with influence in order to support their lists and to persuade some candidates to withdraw in the interest of these lists.

In this context, a development took place yesterday, which was not surprising.. The story started two days ahead of the parliamentary elections, the Lebanese consensus President seemed to turn to be a main electoral "player." with the withdrawal of the so-called "presidential candidate" Emile Nawfal in the Jbeil district, a withdrawal that made the "alliance" between the so-called "presidential candidates," taking the name of independents, with the March 14 bloc.
This is at least what Lebanese felt at the moment Nawfal announced his withdrawal in what seemed to be a "compromise" with the March 14 candidate former MP Fares Soaid, especially that the withdrawal came only a few hours after the Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea, one major March 14 figure, said during a TV interview that he has asked President Sleiman to withdraw Nawfal in favor of the former MP.

In its Friday edition, Lebanese daily As-Safir raised the issue, raised multiple question marks and regretted that the President took the risk "and staked his consensus position" by meddling and interfering in the electoral battle. Yet, the President couldn't surpass the "Michel Aoun's complex," As-Safir said, in reference to the popular leader of the Free Patriotic Movement and the main Christian political leader in Lebanon who's just like Sleiman a former Army chief. "The elections came and the idea of the centrist bloc emerged," the daily noted.

“Suddenly, the consensus president listened to the others and decided to support some candidates over others in his own district," the daily went on to say. "Yesterday, in Jbeil, the President didn't hesitate to take the risk in an attempt to gain an additional parliamentary seat… even if the price would be losing his consensus position," the daily added.
 
"President Sleiman might say he has no relation with what's taking place in Jbeil," the daily said. "But Samir Geagea said it loudly. He said obviously that urged the President to withdraw candidate Emile Nawfal in favor of Fares Soaid and his non-announced ally Nazem Khoury and this is what happened. Moreover, Nawfal said loudly that he wouldn't withdraw unless the President asks him personally to do so and this is what happened.”

Finally, in terms of the Israeli networks, day after another the Lebanese Army and security forces continue to make achievements, arresting spying networks spread throughout the country…
On Friday, Lebanese daily An-Nahar quoted high-level military sources as revealing that the Lebanese army has uncovered 25 cells spying for the Israeli Mossad and arrested since early 2009 six networks belonging to al-Qaeda group. Members of the networks are from Arab and non-Arab nationalities and the army is coordinating with their countries. In addition, Observers believe that these arrests would be full of surprises and big names.
