Arab Parliament Plans to Deploy Observers for Libya’s Elections

December 6, 2021

The Speaker of the Arab Parliament confirmed that the Arab Parliament supports the holding of the Libyan elections on time. This will contribute to stability in Libya.

In statements to the Al-Ghad channel on Saturday, Al-Asoumi said that he would respond to the Libyan government’s call to send a delegation to monitor the Libyan elections.

Last week, the Head of the Libya’s High National Election Commission (HNEC), Emad El-Sayeh, discussed the mechanisms for the participation of international observers in monitoring the elections, with the British Ambassador to Libya, Caroline Hurndall.

Notably, 72 Libyan Members of Parliament (MPs) on Sunday called for holding an urgent session “to save the ongoing electoral process from suspicions of fraud, foreign interference, bypassing the law, and attempts to influence judicial decisions.”

In a joint statement, the MPs said that they are “following the negative developments of the electoral process, the failure to implement the law and circumventing it by the judicial institution and the HNEC, and silence on suspicions of fraud and influence on the judiciary.”

They also stressed the need for the Head of the HNEC and representatives of the security and judicial institutions supervising the electoral process to attend this session and be held accountable.

They warned the HNEC against announcing the final list of presidential candidates before the accountability session ends; “so that the Parliament can assess the situation and study ways to salvage the electoral process and ensure that it will be conducted on time and in an appropriate security and political environment in accordance with the issued legislation.”

Moreover, they stressed that they would not accept to “bow to the suspicious external pressures,” or to be “false witnesses to a party of fraud, vote-buying, and insulting the judicial institution.”

Meanwhile, they affirmed their support for holding “free, fair and credible legal elections” or either developing a new roadmap in accordance with the Constitutional Declaration and its eleven amendments.

This situation comes, while the road to the polls is still fraught with dangers in Libya, less than 3 weeks before the elections, which are scheduled for December 24th.

Political and security tension is also increasing, and legal disputes are escalating between the competing sides over the eligibility of candidates. This has made many skeptical about the possibility of holding it on date.
