MP Melhem Riachy wrote on his X account:

“My people in Northern Matn: The Lebanese Forces’ leadership informed me of their desire for some change this term, and therefore I will not be running in the upcoming parliamentary elections. I wish the candidates success, with my regards to Samir Geagea and the LF members in Matn, and my warmest greetings to the proud people of Matn. I hope I have been worthy of the trust you placed in me.”
