Landslide Win For Independents In Order of Engineers and Architects Election
A preliminary victory for the independent “Al Naqaba Tantafid” list in the Order of Engineers and Architects elections has many feeling a renewed sense of hope.
The independent groups managed to land majorities in six out of the seven departments, gaining significantly over the alliance formed by the political ruling class. A vote taking place in July will determine the head of the Order,
While all the winners were noteworthy, people were particularly thrilled to see Paul Najjar, who lost his 3-year old daughter Alexandra during the August 4 explosion, as one of the victors over the political ruling class.

My thoughts tonight go out to Paul Najjar, who lost his beautiful daughter on Aug 4’s #PortBlast in #Beirut, yet ran in the elex & won. While his victory is bittersweet and can never bring back his kid, he set in stone the equation for the resilience & resistance we shall seek. https://t.co/JO7McrPLMT

From women leading the protests, to women organising protests, to women being the voice of reason when men wanted to fight, to Lebanese women candidates who won many seats at today’s elections at the Order of engineers and architects in Beirut.

This is the kind of wins the Lebanese are hungry to see in 2022. It’s a long fierce fight against the entrenched political establishment in every syndicate, union and municipality. We have no choice but to fight and tear the walls down. Congrats to# # pic.twitter.com/xH5oHLVmco

uprooting criminal warlords and their corrupt parties from unions and syndicates is key for change to occur and to rebuild our country which they destroyed#
Today was a great day. We prevailed with team work, dedication, passion and integrity. We are today one step closer to the real change we thrive for.
