Electoral districts

Bint Jbeil

There was a reform of the seat distribution of parliamentary constituencies in 1957, but Bint Jbeil remained a single-member constituency. Instead the neighbouring electoral district of Nabatieh was awarded an additional Shia seat. Ahmad al-As'ad argued that this move had been done deliberately to curtail his political influence.[4] The Bint Jbeil seat was won by Ali Bazzi in the parliamentary election.[5]
