Massoud al-Ashkar in addition to Tashnag's nominees Freij Saboungian
and Krikor Kaloust.
Aoun said the list was reached through "consensus" and urged supporters
and partisans of the Free Patriotic Movement to "put their weight
behind the list and exert the necessary effort to ensure its success."
He said his bloc's complete ticket will be made public "once it has
been finalized." He said Tashnag's alliance with MP Michel Mur in
the Metn district was "unilateral."
