Even thought for the most part the campaign portion of the election was peaceful their were report of partisan street fights, burning opponent paraphernalia, and aggressive protesting. The big success and concern in this section is the campaign financing. This election was the first in Lebanon where the finance was regulated. The problem was that law of private bank and corporate protection hindered the Supervisory Commission on the Electoral Campaign (SCEC)ability to successfully regulate the candidates campaigns.
