The Road Map Committee of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR) announced that it will start its meetings with all Libyan parties (political, military, security and other parties concerned with the political process). It will do so in order to expand the base of participation and listen to all opinions and proposals.
In a statement, the committee added that in the first stage it will meet with the Libyan High Council of State (HCS), the National Constitution Drafting Authority, the Presidential Council and political parties. This will occur in accordance with the required arrangements and in coordination with these bodies.
This decision was made in the second meeting of the committee at the headquarters of the HoR in Tripoli. The meeting dealt with the committee’s work program and the parties it will communicate with.
In press statements, the Head of Parliament’s Road Map Committee, Nasr El-Din Muhanna, revealed that the committee held two meetings since its formation, one in the city of Tobruk and the other in the capital, Tripoli.
Muhanna added that “the committee has met twice since its formation in Tobruk and Tripoli to draw a clear, practical and comprehensive map for the next stage.”
He explained that this will only be achieved with the participation of all political decision-makers in Libya. Furthermore citizens will be aware of the committee’s work through its upcoming press briefings.
Notably, the Libyan Parliament held several meetings to discuss the reports issued by the High National Election Commission (HNEC), the security services, and the Roadmap Committee, according to Spokesman, Abdullah Blaiheg.
