The Skaff Bloc or Popular Bloc, led by Elias Skaff, was a five-member bloc (including one Armenian Revolutionary Federation member) in the Lebanese Parliament that aligned with the Free Patriotic Movement from 2005 to 2009. It was part of the current Lebanese opposition Change and Reform bloc, headed by Michel Aoun. In 2009 the party lost all its deputies after the victory of the 14 March alliance in the district. After the death of Elias Skaff in 10 October 2015, his wife, Myriam Skaff, took control of the party. During the Lebanese municipal election of 2016 in Zahle, an attempt at forging an electoral coalition with the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces failed, prompting the Popular bloc to run against the Christian parties and list. The alliance broke definitively with the Change and Reform bloc.
