Libya’s 6+6 Joint Committee to Hold Talks in Morocco

Libya’s 6+6 Joint Committee will hold a meeting in the Moroccan capital, Rabat on Monday. This is with the aim to “formulate a new constitutional rule that enables holding the Presidential and Parliamentary elections,” according to Al-Arabiya News.

The parties will discuss the conditions for running in the elections, in a new attempt to break the legal stalemate, according to Al-Arabiya.

The Committee was formed by the Libyan Parliament and the High Council of State (HCS) under the 13th Constitutional Amendment. The committee is tasked with establishing the nation’s electoral laws.

Originally scheduled to take place in Libya, the meetings were moved to Morocco to ensure a faster consensus on laws, without any pressure from local parties.

This new round of negotiations faces the challenge of reaching a consensual formula regarding the candidacy of military personnel, and dual nationals.

The HCS refuses to allow the candidacy of the leader of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Khalifa Haftar, and Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi. In contrast, the Libyan Parliament insists on giving them the opportunity to run.

According to MP, Izz Al-Din Qweirb, a member of the Committee, they will vote on disputed points during the meeting in Morocco. Previous meetings have discussed technical aspects with the electoral commission and legal elements with the Attorney General, particularly with regard to issues related to candidates.

The meetings will take several days to discuss the disputed articles, and vote on laws or articles that are still in disagreement.

“The Committee will vote on all articles that have not reached a consensus, and will present the disputed points regarding Presidential candidacy in the previous draft law. The Committee’s decisions will be referred to the electoral commission after being approved by Parliament, or the Committee may refer them directly to the commission,” according to Qweirb.
