Libyan MPs Accuse West of Obstructing Electoral Laws

Libyan MP’s have warned against obstructing the consensus between the Parliament and the High Council of State (HCS). They accused the international community – especially some Western states- of “interfering in order not to hold elections in Libya, except in accordance with what serves the interests of those countries.”

MP Essam Al-Jehani told Russia’s news agency, Sputnik that the “current consultations between the two chambers include the formation of a new government, within the consensus on the election path.”

“Some parties insist that they themselves supervise the formation of a new government or set the mechanism for it, similarly to all previous governments,” Al-Jehani said, without naming those parties.

He affirmed that “the national vision conflicts with the international vision that wants to maintain the current divisions, without making any tangible progress.”

Moreover, MP Ali Al-Soul said that the formation of a new government is approved and welcomed by the HCS.

“The international community is obstructing any consensus on forming a new government. Some countries seek to sponsor the new government to have it under their control,” Al-Soul added.

Notably, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iraq welcomed the results of Libya’s 6+6 Joint Committee. The Arab countries called for the Libyan parties to “formally sign the electoral laws, as an important step towards ending the crisis, and enhance security and stability in the country.”

The Committee, which is mandated by the Libyan Parliament and the HCS agreed on laws regulating Presidential and Parliamentary elections scheduled for the end of this year.

The announcement was made at the conclusion of the Committee’s meetings in the Moroccan city of Bouznika.

In a press conference the Head of the Parliamentary delegation, Jalal Al-Shuwaidi explained that they had completed laws for both elections. They are now awaiting the Parliament and HCS Speakers, Ageela Saleh and Khaled Al-Mishri, for the final decision on these laws.

Al-Shuwaidi confirmed that the Committee “was not subjected to pressure or interference from Morocco or from abroad,” expressing his thanks to the Kingdom of Morocco for hosting the committee’s meetings, and his appreciation for its efforts in support of Libya.
