Hezbollah's participation in municipal elections in southern Lebanon serves as a crucial test of its political strength following military setbacks. The voting, involving many communities affected by recent conflicts with Israel, demonstrates high engagement among voters. Allies like Amal, led by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, are expected to dominate the elections. Amid sporadic Israeli strikes and ongoing tensions, leaders like President Joseph Aoun emphasized resilience after decades of conflict. The elections signify Hezbollah's ongoing relevance, even as it navigates challenges in political and military spheres.
Despite facing military losses and diminished political leverage, Hezbollah is leveraging the municipal elections to assert its influence and gauge support in southern Lebanon.
The recent vote is not just about local governance but also an indication of the strength of Hezbollah and its ally Amal among the electorate, especially after the recent conflicts.
