Local elections in Lebanon

by Michael Bauer

Important milestone for the new government and indicator of the political balance in the country

Despite organisational hurdles, political resistance and a still precarious security situation in many places, municipal and mukhtar elections were held across Lebanon in May 2025, after a three-year delay. The elections are an important step towards strengthening the country's state institutions and are a success for the new government under Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and President Joseph Aoun, which has been in office since the beginning of the year. The elections also offer an initial indication of the country's political balance of power following the war between Israel and Hezbollah, and ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections.
