Khaled Hadadi

Khaled Hadadi (born 1956) is the former general-secretary of the Lebanese Communist Party (LCP) from December 2003 until April 2016.

[1] Hadadi taught at the Lebanese University for several years before becoming General-Secretary of LCP.

Hadadi served in the central committee of the party since 1987 and in the political bureau since 1993.

However, under the leadership of Hadadi, the party managed to preserve its independence despite its closer relations with Hizbollah and Michel Aoun, the main leaders of the Lebanese opposition that was known before as the March 8 coalition.

He was reelected as secretary general for a second term after the 10th Congress of the Party in February 2009.
