Talal Arslan

Emir Talal Arslan (Arabic: الأمير طلال أرسلان) is a Lebanese politician and political chief of the Druze sect.

Before taking over his duties, his mother, Emirah Khawlah Majid Arslan, was the family chief.

Emir Talal founded the Lebanese Democratic Party along with Marwan Bey Abou Fadel in 2001.

He further accused Mikati of trying to ignite a conflict within March 8 by lying to the public and attempting to embarrass Hezbollah by stalling the formation of a new government.

Security officials said that his supporters in his stronghold of Khalde blocked the highway leading to the village and fired gunshot rounds in the air to protest Mikati cabinet.
