Lebanon elections: Hezbollah and its allied parties are on course to lose their majority in the Lebanese parliament following Sunday’s elections, three sources close to the group told Reuters. The full tally from the parliamentary elections is yet to be announced but preliminary results indicate that the Saudi-aligned Lebanese Forces (LF) Christian party made gains and will likely reverse the results of the 2018 vote that handed Hezbollah and its allies a majority. The LF said no group won a majority, potentially throwing the parliament into deadlock at a time when the country is supposed to be committing to radical economic reforms to stem the devastating economic crisis.
