Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea announced on Saturday that his party was fully mobilizing to wage the upcoming "fateful" parliamentary elections.
Addressing a meeting of the party's central council, he described the May polls as a "battle to save Lebanon" against attempts to change its identity and history.
It is a battle to end the dire situation and crises the country is enduring that he blamed on the alliance between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement, he added.
A statement after the meeting said Geagea had called for the launch of the LF's electoral campaign.
He expressed optimism that change was possible through the elections because the people have grown disgruntled with the ruling class and they have realized that it only cares for its own interests and consequently led the country towards collapse.
He urged the people to assume their responsibilities in the elections "otherwise we will remain in the hell we are living in and we may collapse even further for at least the next four years."
"This a fateful battle and we must prepare for it with all our might because the elections are the main road to helping Lebanon out of the abyss," Geagea stressed.
Moreover, he doubted that the elections would be obstructed, vowing that the LF would confront such attempts and adding that the world will be closely watching the developments.
