They were the first elections in thirty years without a Syrian military or intelligence presence in Lebanon.

These elections were the first in Lebanese history to be won outright by a single electoral block and were also the first to be monitored by the United Nations.

The Resistance and Development Bloc, a joint ticket by the two main Shiite parties Amal and Hezbollah, in addition to Bahiya Al-Hariri, the sister of the assassinated late Prime Minister Rafic Al-Hariri and Oussama Saad from Sidon, won all 23 seats.

In Beqaa, the Resistance and Development Bloc won 11 seats, the Hariri List eight, and the Aoun Alliance four.

Aoun re-stamped his authority as a major Christian leader on the political scene.
