An independent member of parliament, Gamal Zahran, accused the government of supporting the districts of MPs from the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), while neglecting the district where the opposition won. The MP wanted to interview government officials on this matters as he maintains that he has copies of checks from the government to mosques, hospitals and schools of the districts controlled by the NDP, whereas no such donations are given in the districts that elected opposition MPs. The NDP MPs prevented the opposition from entering a motion to present the case to the Central Auditing Authority.

Bunni was arrested in May 2006 along with ten others, including Michel Kilo, after signing the "Beirut-Damascus Declaration." The declaration, signed by around 300 Syrian and Lebanese activists, called on Syria to correct its relations with Lebanon and comply with UN resolutions by demarcating the border, setting up an embassy in Beirut and recognizing Lebanon's sovereignty and independence.
