Lebanese Kataeb sources told Al Joumhouria daily that the party's rejection of the hybrid electoral proposal came over its division of Mount Lebanon to two districts. The first includes Shouf and Aley and the second includes the qadas of Baabda, North Metn, Jbeil and Keserouan.

"This aims at dividing Christians in Mount Lebanon and giving Jumblat what satisfies him in addition to granting Hezbollah more Shiite weight," the sources said, wondering what made Al Mustaqbal and Lebanese Forces make such divisions while keeping other districts intact.
