Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Several candidates for the Presidential elections have announced their support for amending the election laws. They demanded the cancellation of Article 88, which was agreed upon by the 6+6 Joint Committee.

In a statement, the candidates affirmed their adherence to their rights established by Law No. ‘6’ of 2012.

They directed a copy of the statement to the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Ageela Saleh, the Head of the High National Election Commission (HNEC), Emad Al-Sayeh, and the UN Envoy, Abdoulaye Bathily.

Notably, the United States Special Envoy to Libya, Richard Norland convened a meeting on Thursday, with Al-Sayeh. This was attended by the US Charge d’Affaires, Leslie Ordeman.

In a tweet, Norland appreciated his encounter with Al-Sayeh, discussing the importance of successful elections in Libya.

He added that he is “confident that HNEC will be technically capable and ready to support elections, as soon as Libyan leaders finalize their agreement on an enforceable legal basis.”

Earlier, Norland stressed that “good governance, decentralization, reconciliation, and reconstruction form the bedrock for fostering democratic development and stability in Libya.”

As reported on the US Embassy in Libya’s Twitter account, Norland lauded the leadership of Badr Al-Din Al-Tumi, the Minister of Local Government.

The US Envoy also noted the “substantial strides taken by the Interim Council of Murzuk, towards bolstering peace and reconciliation in the region.”

In a meeting with Al-Sayeh, Norland conveyed his belief that “the commission is technically equipped and prepared to facilitate elections, once Libyan leaders reach consensus on a viable legal framework.”

During a conversation with Libyan Foreign Minister Najla Al-Mangoush, Norland reasserted his commitment to promoting stability and peace in Libya. He underlined the necessity for ongoing efforts and communication to implement supporting programs, which are aimed at ensuring the success of the forthcoming elections.
