On Tuesday, Saleh held talks with the Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Jan Kubis to discuss the possibility of holding the upcoming general elections.
In a statement, the Parliament’s media office said that Saleh stressed the necessity of holding the elections as scheduled, indicating that once the members of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) agree on a constitutional basis for holding the elections, it would be referred to the Libyan Parliament for approval.
He added that should the LPDF members failed to agree on a constitutional base, Parliamentary decision No. 05 of 2014 will be implemented, which provides for Presidential elections to be voted on directly by the Libyan people.
