Sabri Hamadeh hails from a family that was always active as a political stronghold for the Shiites of Lebanon, particularly in the Baalbek-Hermel region.

Speaker Sabri Hamadé, refused to announce the election of a President on a 1-vote difference on the grounds that the law dictates that the minimum vote to win (in the third round) should be the half plus one.

The House Speaker Sabri Hamadé and the Lebanese MPs issued a strongly worded memorandum addressed to the representative of the French government in Lebanon, and also pleaded for Arab support from neighboring Arab states and denouncing the acts of oppression practiced by the French soldiers and the Lebanese police.

Since his arrival in Lebanon, Imam Musa al-Sadr opened a new phase of social and political action.

Since 1966, Sadr began his political project, including helping disadvantaged areas and their rights, and demanding fairness on the basis of citizenship not on sectarian basis, and the start of process for the establishment of a separate council or organization for the Lebanese Shiites.

A special declaration was prepared to present during a visit to the Lebanese President Charles Helou, a manifesto of demands on behalf of the Shiite community.

In early 1967, a special committee chaired by Sabri Hamadé, prepared a proposal of the law.

This amended text was approved by the House of Representatives on 16 May 1967, with a second amendment introduced on the article 26 and 30, in a Parliamentary meeting headed by Parliament Speaker Sabri Hamadé and the presence of Lebanese Government headed by Prime Minister Rashid Karami.
