Is Future Movement's Beirut influence waning

The influence of the Future Movement has diminished in Beirut, according to the results of the Beirut Families' Union elections. The "Beirut Independent Families" list, supported by MP Fouad Makhzoumi, won six seats, while the "Our Strength in Unity" list, backed by the current, also secured six seats, with the "Positive Neutrality" list retaining one seat. This decline reflects a shift in the mood of the Beirut street and indicates a decrease in the influence of the Future Movement, especially after its absence from recent electoral contests. It also highlights accumulated factors weakening its popular support, such as declining public services, a fractured supporter base, and the repercussions of its followers' alignment with regional policies—factors both internal and external—that have affected their loyalty. The report emphasizes that for this decline to be halted, the movement must adopt a firm and clear political stance, reconnect with its regional backers, and return to strong regional support. Otherwise, it will continue to face the risk of repeated setbacks in upcoming electoral battles.
