He continued: "On the Shiite level, the numbers for Hezbollah decreased, and the percentage of the Shiite voter vote decreased, and this in itself is an indicator that shows the path of the picture for the next stage, and it is possible to build on any cumulative action in this area, especially since the opposition forces in the south have achieved violations".

Spring concluded by saying: "It is not a detail that we witness symbols of the most prominent allies of Hezbollah, who used to give it cover, whether in the Sunni, Druze or Christian sect, have fallen, returned, or reduced in size, and therefore this is also an indicator that can be built upon for the next stage.".

The Sunni environment also recorded a large participation. Contrary to the boycott calls, it has redrawn a Sunni representation that was positively divided between civil society and the sovereign forces, and this is an important achievement.".
