Kamel El Asaad (or Kamel Al Asaad) (1932 – 25 July 2010) was a Lebanese politician. Kamel Asaad ((アラビア語:كامل الأسعد)) served starting early 1960 as Deputy of Bint Jbeil, replacing his father Ahmed al-Asaad and then held the parliamentary seat of Hasbaya-Marjayoun from 1964 and 1992. He was elected Speaker of the House of the Lebanese Parliament several times, May to October 1964, May to October 1968, with his final stint from 1970 to 1984. Assaad chaired the parliamentary sessions, which saw the election of presidents Elias Sarkis, Bachir Gemayel, and Amine Gemayel. Asaad left politics in 1984 after Syria's intervention in Lebanon's internal political policies related to the ratification of the Agreement of May 17, 1984, between Israel and Lebanon, and the period of political crisis which followed. He was the founder and president of the Lebanese Social Democratic Party ((アラビア語: الحزب الديمقراطي الاشتراكي)). He also had ministerial positions in two Lebanese governments serving as Minister of Education and Fine Arts from October 1961 to February 1964, and as Minister of Health and Minister of Water and Electricity Resources from April to December 1966. After serving as a Member of Parliament and its Speaker several times, Asaad later ran for public office but failed to get elected in the Lebanese elections in 1992, 1996 and 2000, in the face of pro-Syrian and pro-Iranian political groups Amal and Hezbollah lists, and called for a boycott of the elections in 2005. He died in 2010, at the age of 78.〔(Former Speaker Kamel al-Asaad dies at age 78. )〕 ==Personal life== Coming from a large feudal Shia family from southern Lebanon, Kamel Asaad held the title of "Bakaweit" (title of nobility plural of "Beik" granted to a few wealthy families in Lebanon in the early eighteenth century).
