Jaafarite Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan issued on Tuesday what could be interpreted as a "religious order" by calling on Shiite followers to vote for the Shiite duo of the Hezbollah party and Amal movement in the May 15 parliamentary elections in Lebanon.
He said the elections were a form of "major worship and religious duty", barring a boycott of the polls or the submission of a blank vote.
