LEBANON-VOTE-WOMEN
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY NATASHA YAZBECK
Campaign posters of Lebanese candidate Magda Breidi, running for a Christian seat in parliament in the Bekaa province, hang from a limestone building in the eastern Bekaa Valley city of Zahleh on May 13, 2009.Although Lebanon prides itself as a pioneer of women's lib in the Arab world, it lags behind some of its more conservative neighbours as it readies for an election where at best just four out of 128 seats are likely to be won by women. Only 12 candidates are women and, in a country where political dynasties rule, few are likely to cross the finish line. Three of the 12 are backed by the current Western-backed ruling majority, one by the opposition and eight are running as independents. AFP PHOTO/RAMZI HAIDAR
