In a significant meeting at the High National Elections Commission (HNEC) headquarters, Emad Al-Sayeh, the commission’s Head, hosted Abdoulaye Bathily, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), alongside his delegation. This important dialogue, which also saw the participation of HNEC member Abdulhakim Belkhair, underscores the ongoing international commitment to bolster Libya’s electoral processes.

The discussions focused on the electoral landscape, particularly the advancements in the municipal council elections process. Both parties explored avenues for international support and expertise to augment the commission’s capabilities, ensuring it is well-equipped to manage the forthcoming electoral challenges.

Bathily affirmed the continuous backing of both UNSMIL and the global community for Libya’s electoral endeavors. He lauded the commission’s readiness and its adherence to internationally recognised electoral standards and principles.

Al-Sayeh, in turn, acknowledged the invaluable contributions of UNSMIL in enhancing the electoral process with global expertise and technology, aiming for an election that is both credible and of high quality. This meeting marks a pivotal step towards achieving transparent and fair municipal elections in Libya. It reflects the collective efforts to uphold democratic processes in the nation.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Moammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
