Lebanon's parliamentary election, phased over four weekends by region, moved on Sunday to the center and the east for its third and penultimate stage. Two of the 35 seats up for grabs in central Lebanon have already gone uncontested to Druze opposition leader Walid Jumblatt and a top aide. In the first voting round on May 29, all Beirut's 19 seats went to a slate led by Saad al-Hariri, son of slain former premier Rafik al-Hariri. All the south's 23 seats went in a June 5 round to a list headed by the groups Hizbollah and Amal.
