Let's see how the people gave him their votes and how he won with a very small number
In the Zahle casa, the voting rate is around 47%, or the equivalent of 91K votes.
Out of those 47%, the LF list with the maximum mobilization locally and abroad got around 18500 votes, that is, around 20%

Akhouna el Qayssar got around 3550 votes, that is, around 4% of the total number of voters who participated in the elections. He lost the popular vote to Assad Nakad but the law was on his side. Now out of the Qayssar 3550 votes, and based on very relevant sources, between 1500 and 2000 votes were given to him by Samir Geagea supporters in the late afternoon and the LF leader order was clear to prevent the Qawmi Nassif el Tineh from winning. Excluding the LF votes, the Qayssar would have gotten on his own around 2000 votes most of which came from his employees and their families, as well as his relatives. So practically, he won with VERY small numbers, and that gives me hope that the vast majority of ahl Zahle refuse to be represented by an illiterate dog fights organizer
