Kataeb leader Samy Gemayel on Thursday called on Interior Minister Rayya Al-Hassan to shore up the gender quota draft law which would allow more than 30% of the candidates in municipal elections to be women.

In a tweet he posted on his page, Gemayel urged Hassan to show support to the draft laq he proposed in 2010 and which is set to be discussed by the parliament's defense, interior and municipalities committees on Monday.

"Let's support this proposal together!" Gemayel wrote.
