so why were their names announced in the press conference on May 7 when Shirley started introducing the C&R candidates all over Lebanon?

i don't know why their names were announced during the conference... but there are many names which can't be declared openly as members of C&R and are too important to be overlooked... in other words, they are given the choice..

on the other hand, some others like Boueiz can't have a choice and were rejected immediately when they refused to be member of C&R..

I think Ghassan Ashkar will be a member of the C&R no doubt about that, that is if he wins.

Tala Irslan, Ali Ammar and Marada candidates for instance are included in the page. Does this mean they will be part of the C&R block?

Marada yes, that's why Fayez Karam withdrew his candidancy.

either all SSNP will be part of the bloc or not....I don't understand how they are part of it in Koura and Metn while they are not in baalbek and Majeyoun (whoever the candidates are)

guys what fo you think about what Nicolas Sehnaoui just announced on LBC about an hour ago, saying that he is looking for a "43 MPs" block, he repeated it many times, which tells he is serious about it, and again he concluded his speech by repeating it again!!! when the journalist asked him about how many of the 43 candidates does he predict to make it through the elections, he calmly smiled and confidently said "43"!!!!

what do you think about that...?
