The results of the municipal elections in Tripoli were finally announced on Wednesday evening, following a three-day vote count.
According to information obtained by This is Beirut, the “Vision Tripoli” list—backed by a coalition of political figures and parties, including Faysal Karameh, Ashraf Rifi, MP Karim Kabbara, and the Al-Ahbash group—secured 12 seats on the new municipal council, which notably lacks any Christian representation.
The “Naseej” list, supported by civil society groups, won 11 seats, while the “Guardians of the City” list claimed just one.
The newly elected council is composed of 23 Sunnis and a single Alawite, the latter elected on the coalition list.
The results are yet to be confirmed by the Ministry of Interior.
