BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:00 A.M.) - Thousands of Future Movement supporters gathered outside Prime Minister Saad Hariri's Beirut residence on Friday, for a post-election victory rally.
"Beirut today says in the loudest voice that it is the capital of loyalty to the [path] of martyr Rafic Hariri," Hariri said, referring to his father, the former prime minister who was assassinated in 2005.
Last Sunday, Hariri's party lost a third of his seats in the parliament, passing from 33 seats to 21.
His main challengers, Hezbollah, won 14 seats but has enough support from other parties to oust Hariri and his Future Movement.
