Media Adviser to the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Fathi Al-Marimi revealed that a new government is on the cusp of being formed, emphasising that this development “is an internal matter, devoid of international influences.”
In his press remarks, Al-Marimi noted that “a substantial agreement has been reached on the disputed aspects of the electoral law, which is slated for a Parliamentary presentation tomorrow.”
Highlighting Libya’s ongoing challenges, he stressed that the “rampant prevalence of lawless armed groups and militias forms the core of Libya’s crises. These groups do not adhere to any military or interior authorities, or any official security bodies.”
Al-Marimi revealed active engagements with influential figures linked to these groups, with the primary aim to prevent any disruptions in the upcoming electoral proceedings.
Last month, the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Ageela Saleh, announced that they are working with the High State Council (HCS) to form a new interim government.
This transitional government is poised to oversee affairs until electoral milestones are achieved in the shortest possible timeframe.
In his address at the Parliament session in Benghazi, attended by his Egyptian counterpart, Hanafi Jebali, Saleh underscored that the Libyan crisis solution would be intrinsically Libyan.
He went on to confirm that the Parliament issued the 13th Constitutional Amendment, through which the 6+6 Joint Committee, was formed. The principal task of this committee is to propose a legislative framework for both Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Saleh lauded the work of the Committee, aimed at bridging viewpoints to facilitate the realization of Presidential and Parliamentary elections. He also conveyed his hopes for the “continued dialogues among the committee members that lead to enhanced security and lasting stability among Libyans.”
Finally, Saleh acknowledged Egypt’s “significant contribution to the Libyan issue and the long-standing historical ties that exist between the two countries.” He expressed gratitude for Egypt’s “crucial role in the Libyan issue, paying homage to the age-old historical relationships uniting the two nations.”
