Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea Thursday reaffirmed ties with the Free Patriotic Movement, saying their relationship will never be shaken, days after the two groups backed opposing lists in Jounieh's municipal polls.
"Jounieh's Dignity" list was headed by Hobeish, which is supported by the FPM, the Kataeb Party and some local families, won 14 seats out of 18 in Jounieh's council in Sunday's elections.
In January, Geagea nominated FPM founder Michel Aoun for the presidency, ending over two decades of bitter ties between the wartime foes and sending shock waves through Lebanon's political spectrum.
