On Sunday May 15, 2022, Lebanon witnessed the first election - in this case legislative - since the popular uprising of 2019, the economic collapse and the devastating explosion of the port of Beirut, followed by the departure of tens of thousands of young graduates from the country. Four million Lebanese were called to the polls to elect a new Parliament.
The results of this election offer several lessons on the new political power relations and the extent of the crisis that the state and society are going through.
