History

The Azm Movement participated in the parliamentary elections of 2000 and 2009 by nominating its leader, Najib Mikati, in the Tripoli constituency, for the Sunni seat, and was able to win both times.

The party participated in the 2018 parliamentary elections in the Minnieh, Dinnieh, Tripoli electoral district, which was conducted according to the new proportional system, and announced the formation of a list called "List of Determination",^{[citation needed]} which ranked second in Tripoli with more than 40,000 votes^{[citation needed]} and the party won four seats:

Najib Mikati for the Sunni seat; Ali Darwish for the Alawite seat; Jean Obeid for the Maronite seat and Nicolas Nahas for the Eastern Orthodox seat.^{[citation needed]} Jean Obeid died during his term in 2021.^[4]

The Azm Movement did not get any seats in the Lebanese 2022 parliamentary election.^[5]
