I dont know if they have that power Hanna. Muslim are a tiny minority in this district. 5/3 seems the most logical to me. 7000 sunni out of 125000 voters wont make that much of a difference I believe. Bass I believe LF Tayyar Tashnag wont take all the seats. I think a third list will manage to get 1. What do you think?
This district has low threshold, Lets say there are 130000 voters ( although this number could be different)...and that this time 50% vote and not 40%, we end up with a threshold of around 8,000. Of course its still a big number, but it's within reach of many parties/figures.
Ziad Abs and some other independent rebellious figures could try to assert themselves, so as many other christian parties such as Kataeb/SSNP/Marada could try to influence the outcome. Tashnag could enter alone and get 2 candidates at most, so basically with no improvement on last time. Other Armenian groups could influence the third seat without the 14 march robe this time but wont be able to decide it on their own. I think the fourth armenian seat will be decided entirely by all other christian votes.
LF and FPM will get at most one MP each. That is AT MOST. Yes the district is secterian and so this gives them a boost, but its Beirut and it has its own calculations, Saying they could add up other figures under their wings is just not realistic because alliances could change so easily. For sure though Ziad Abs would make it if he decides to go on.

It is an estimation that there are 130000 registered voters, and that this time instead of 40% of voting and less ( due to deals done in beirut 2 in 2009 and due to majoritarian law), this time it will be 50% voting or more, which means 65000 votes which divided by 8 seats is around 8000 votes as the threshold.
If you go by 2009 results, FPM performed terribly and still lost by 2000 - 3000 votes.Relied mainly on the Armenian vote. Adding Medawar to Beirut 1, with make the alliance of FPM - Tashnag get 5 seats out of 8 if FPM performs badly again. This is why I see no point of adding LF to the list.
Beirut Madinati might take seats away from the other list.
