The Libyan Parliament has held several meetings to discuss the reports issued by the High National Elections Commission (HNEC), the security services, and the Roadmap Committee, according to Spokesman, Abdullah Blaiheg.

In a statement to ‘Al-Araby TV’, Blaiheg added: “During this stage, the House is requesting more clarifications about the obstacles that prevented the holding of the elections. Therefore, it will wait for the next session for the appearance of the Head and members of HNEC, to listen to them on this issue.”

Blaiheg also confirmed that the Parliament would discuss obstacles presented by the concerned agencies, related to appeals and legal issues. In addition to several security issues mentioned in a confidential report issued by the General Intelligence Services.

On Tuesday, 125 Libyan Parliamentary candidates signed a joint statement calling for adherence to 24 January as the date for the Presidential elections in the country.

The candidates demanded the announcement of a preliminary list of candidates for the legislative elections, and the final lists of Presidential candidates.

They also stressed the need to set 6 March 2022 as the date for voting for the second round, concurrent with the Parliamentary elections.

The candidates said, “the real spoiler is the one who is trying to prolong the chaos in Libya and refuses to give the Libyan people the right to elect their representatives.”

Earlier, the committee formed by the Libyan Parliament to follow up on the electoral process, concluded that it would be “impossible” to hold the elections as scheduled.

Meanwhile, HNEC proposed postponing the first round of the national elections to 24 January, a month from their scheduled date.

“The Libyan Parliament shall take measures to remove the ‘force majeure’ that stops the completion of the electoral process,” it added.

It also affirmed the impartiality and independence of the commission, saying there are “campaigns of confusion and misinformation being hatched, aimed at obstructing the elections.”

“We would like to stress that we have not abdicated our responsibilities, and we have accomplished what we have set out to do,” HNEC said.
