Antoine Habchi's victory has a distinct flavor. There were blatant pressures to prevent Habchi from forming a list. When he succeeded in doing so, the process of withdrawing candidates from his list commenced, and withdrawals followed. On election day, numerous violations were recorded, with many documented through videos and photos, amidst an outrageous official negligence. Despite all of this, Habchi managed to achieve victory, especially since, by belonging to the "Forces," he is the most representative of the Christians in Baalbek-Hermel. Therefore, it can be said that Habchi's win stole the spotlight in yesterday's elections, making him the "super deputy" in the new council, as noted on MTV's website.
