On Sunday, the Chairman of the Libyan High National Elections Commission (HNEC), Imad Al-Sayeh, held a meeting with the Special Envoy of the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General and Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Ján Kubiš.
In a statement, HNEC said that the meeting comes within the framework of the UN’s support for the electoral process in Libya.
Al-Sayeh and Kubiš reviewed the Commission’s preparations for holding the upcoming national elections scheduled to take place in December. They also discussed its readiness to fulfill the responsibilities in consolidating such an important democratic path.
On his part, Kubiš stressed the importance of the role entrusted to the Commission, underscoring the need to give it full support.
“We are confident the elections will fulfill the will of the Libyan people – East, West and South – to improve their lives through the establishment of a unified interim executive authority that will deliver better governance and prepare for successful national elections in December,” he noted.
Earlier today, HNEC sent a convoy of electoral equipment to the electoral administration offices in Benghazi and Sebha, as part of the preparations for the upcoming elections.
